Edilio Doral Florida Quotes & Sayings

Sara knelt. She was becoming smaller, lighter, and then she was down among the insects, and the only thing in the world was the noise of them, the churn of their bodies upon one another, the clack of their black hulls, a heavenly vibration that resounded only because they were pushing in the same direction, and they were invincible.

Her mind calmed, and she felt herself lifted into the air by the hand of God. — Shawn Vestal
