They all have wings

 

"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."

- Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926)

I'm supporting (and recommending) "The Marginalian," an e-zine, or newsletter which comes to my email twice a week about art, poetry, people, love, humanity, animals...just life. I loved reading this children's book several years ago, which is included in this article by Maria Popova.
