"'Were my prayers, my heart wish, the reason Ephemera created a way for you to reach my part of the world? If they were, am I to blame for the sorrows in your life?' 'No, of yourse not,' Glorianna said. 'We make a hundred choices every day, and each of those choices, no matter how trivial, changes the landscapes we live in just a tiny bit. Enough tiny changes can change a person's resonance and open up another landscape as the next part of their life's journey.' 'Or close a landscape?' Yoshani asked gently. She nodded. 'Sometimes people cross a bridge and never find the way back to a landscape they had known because they have outgrown that place. They have nothing to offer that landscape, and it has nothing to offer them.' 'And sometimes when they reach that point, they know it is time to leave.'"
Glorianna and Yoshani, Belladonna by Anne Bishop
