There Is No Truth On This Island

You May Be Your Own Best Helper, If You Choose The Right Path.

I've Loved Fairytales, Folklore And Mythology Since I Was A Small Child, And I Think It Was Inevitable That They Would Influence My Style And My Development Of Stories.

Come, Dear Heart. Lean On Me And Let Us Walk This Path Together.

I Do Not View Suicide As Wicked, Just Terribly Sad. There Is Only One Death, But It Is Like A Stone Cast Into A Pond - The Ripples Stretch Far. Such An Act Must Leave A Burden Of Sorrow, Guilt, Shame And Confusion On An Entire Family. A Natural Death, Such As My Father Suffered, Is Hard Enough To Deal With. A Decision To End One's Life Must Be Still More Devastating For Those Left Behind. I Cannot Imagine The Degree Of Hopelessness Someone Must Feel To Contemplate Such An Act.

You Will Find The Way, Daughter Of The Forest. Through Grief And Pain, Through Many Trials, Through Betrayal And Loss, Your Feet Will Walk A Straight Path.
