"But the worst part, the absolute worst part, is the constant slipping of your tongue into the new empty space, where you know a tooth supposed to be but ain't no more." - Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds p. 6-7 #LoyolaRE531

“Starting a bow-drill fire is hard to do. It’s really frustrating. But it’s the point when you’re sure it won’t light.... when you feel so frustrated that you want to kick everything as far away as you can get it that you need to lean in and not let go.” - Wild Bird #LoyolaRE531

[AmyZ @AmyJZed]

“Babies come into the world screaming and gasping for air, and getting through Rabbit is a lot like that. And then there you are, in a new world, helpless and weak, needing to figure out how to survive.” - Wild Bird, p. 286. #LoyolaRE531 #YALit

“I stare down at the river, slipping slowly through the earth like a muddy snake, wearing down the sides of the canyon bit by bit, finding the low ground, looking for a way out. For the first time, I see the changes. Inside the earth, inside me.” - Wild Bird, p. 268. #LoyolaRE531
