"Why all the secrecy, Bishop? And the white smoke?"
"The Church is more often good theater these days than good religion. The secrecy originated in this century. Before the collapse of the papal states, the cardinals used to vote in St. John Lateran and live in the Lateran Palace. Each day they would walk down the street to the basilica of St. John Lateran for their day's work and chat with the populace...."
I couldn't sleep, so I got up at 2:45am.
Tea in hand, I turned to reading, and found this lovely quote.
This should be everyone's goal.
Imagine a world made a little bit better by each person's individual acts of goodness. That's the kind of world worth fighting for. That's the kind of love—the kind of hope—we all need. 💚

https://flic.kr/p/2qVon4J Alt text beneath the read more bit. I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.~Frank Herbert, Dune (Dune, #1) […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/04/17/thursday-book-quote-44/

I worked on my Rollover series documents today, and while hunting up names in stories I came across a line I love that I forgot I'd written. So I made a picture for it, because that's what I do, and now I'm sharing it, because I like to share.
Big thanks to the #ScribesAndMakers spreadsheet prompt for reminding me I had a workbook to update.
Oh, hey, this counts for Apr 12 SaM too!

“She is true on course, and the night has not yet caught fire, and she means to stay on course no matter what.”
- Dean Koontz, The House at the End of the World
“…In Time, these People are able to forget ev’rything. Be willing to wait but a little, and ye may gull them again and again, however ye wish, – even unto their own Dissolution. In America, as I apprehend, Time is the true river that runs ‘round Hell.”

This is an insightful read. Less of an instruction manual (thank god), and more revelations about how being an INFJ and writing often go hand-in-hand.
Much of it is anecdotal, which I'm not overly fond of. However, there have been a couple of gems worthy of my quotes journal. Like this one.
Enjoy the journey, and let your inner light shine brightly through your words. 💖

Continuing my #BookQuote w/pretty pictures thread.

Two people who have been utterly shattered by life learn to heal together.
When your main character is a poet, descriptions from their POV can skew to the lyrical side of things.
Grace goes through a lot in this book.
#BookQuote 3 comes from my only published romance (so far)
Hm. Should I be putting links on these? I'd be thrilled if they got boosts, but I'm not making them for promo purposes. I make them to remind myself the words are beautiful.
#BookQuote 2. This one's from my favorite story in the newest book, Relics From A Traveling Show.
A #WritersCoffeeClub prompt about poetic lines got me started thinking about these quotes.
