A quote is a powerful message - a spark of wisdom in compact form. Thought-provoking or inspirational, quotes can help us to focus toward a specific goal, or keep us moving forward  when our motivation lapses. A good quote can change our thought process entirely and redirect our outlook. It can validate what we already believe,  or inspire exciting new possibilities. Gifts of the Dark Night represents volume one in the Author's rapidly expanding collection of original short-form writings.
