that made that moment even more significant and the only way to eternalize it

sole guardian and holder of life’s essence and those blind to that fact or
reluctant to accept it, would never fully experience it.»

«As she stepped out of the car, she immediately
breathed in the distinct humid and cool ocean’s breeze, the perfect carrier of
one of the most irreplaceable and unique odors, commonly referred to as the

only in this specific location, was that smell so perfect and evocative of the
primal feelings that we all hold inside.»

trembling in her soft and chilly nest.»
