"When was the last time you heard the call of your own voice?
Call out, at the top of your lungs,
go ahead and lift the roof off of the barn,
scatter the owls from their roost,
and rattle the lanterns in the breeze.
In your wild call you will find a secret language,
like the conversation one hears between two blades of grass,
or when a bow touches the strings of a forgotten violin."
- Kate Colby Nelson
