I came across this ditty in the book that I'm current reading called Fragile Things (Neil Gaiman). It's actually Pup's. But since he could not take to it, I've taken over and somehow found many profound sayings in em short stories.

And the following excerpt could not be more true of something we should all take to heart:

Remember your name.
Do not lose hope - what you seek will be found.
Trust ghosts.
Trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn.
Trust dreams.
Trust your heart, and trust your story.

Far too often, it is when we lose hope, and think that all which we cannot see are monsters, that we forget who we are, i.e. forget that there is a person behind the face and name. We think that good things cannot happen to us ~ how could it when we do not even know who we are anymore?!

But if we look hard enough, and we listen long enough to the quiet, we'll hear ourselves speak up once again. And it is thru that voice that the fairy reels will start to spin again... so that what dreams may come, we will take it in our stride.
