I love whom I love.
Prince Lir, The Last Unicorn (via curlylarry)
Jack Yap once had his mouth sewn shut for talking too much. His brother  Pudding has to wear stone shoes or he’ll just wander off. Will little  obstacles like these keep the boys out of trouble? Not for the twinkling  of an eye. There is magic in the hills, shapechangers and monsters, and  Jack Yap has a hankering to meet them all and maybe kill a few. What he  and Pudding find in the hills, however, changes both their lives,  taking them out of the country and into the cruel and wonderful world,  where witches and princesses await. Sometimes they are even the same  person.

A mist-full view from the studio window an afternoon or two ago.

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
