Through the Prism

After passing through the prism, each refraction contains some pure essence of the light, but only an incomplete part. We will always experience some aspect of reality, of the Truth, but only from our perspectives as they are colored by who and where we are. Others will know a different color and none will see the whole, complete light. These are my musings from my particular refraction.

Just Started The Hunger Games

Sometimes, when I clean a kill, I feed Buttercup the entrails. he has stopped hissing at me.

Entrails. No hissing. This is the closest we will ever come to love.

""In any case, fire burns; that's its nature, and you can't expect to change that. You can use it to cook your meat or to burn down your neighbor's house. And is the fire you use for cooking any different from the one you use for burning? And does that mean you should eat your supper raw?" Maddy shook her head, still puzzled. "So what you're saying is . . . I shouldn't play with fire," she said at last. "Of course you should," said One-Eye gently. "But don't be surprised if the fire plays back.""— Joanne Harris
