“These doors will sing. Silent siren songs for those who seek what lies behind them. For those who feel homesick for a place they鈥檝e never been to. Those who seek even if they do not know what (or where) it is that they are seeking. Those who seek will find. Their doors have been waiting for them.”

“a paper star that has been unfolded and refolded
into a tiny unicorn but the unicorn remembers a time
when it was a star and an earlier time when it was part of

it was a book when it was a tree and the time even longer
before that when it was a different sort of star”
