{Nikki Giovanni}

Only a few, who remain children at heart, can ever find that fair, lost path [to fairyland] again; and blessed are they above mortals. They, and only they, can bring us tidings from that dear country where we once sojourned and from which we must evermore be exiles. The world calls them its singers and poets and artists and storytellers; but they are just people who have never forgotten the way to fairyland.

{Lucy Maud Montgomery}

Happy Monday and happy writing, Zigzaggers!!!
