"Who doesn't wish for the miracle of love to last forever? Wouldn't you halt the flow of time to suspend that warm feeling so that it cannot fade, never to be betrayed by the weight of the years and the tiredness? Wouldn't you gift everyone with that?***Another town, another quest. He felt he was on a mission; he had gifted others before. The road was difficult but he had faith, and a strong will.He knew that no road, however long and impervious, could stop a one-step-at-a-time journey. Nothing could prevent him from accomplishing his duty if he persevered.He chose small towns when they were holding country fairs or festivals. Times when people would be relaxed and he could listen to their laughter; times when he could immerge in their emotions flowing freely like a river, moving constantly as water flows over rocks...sometimes soothing and sometimes exploding. Then, he was sure to find those who deserved the purest love and joy--the best ones--and gift them."
