" We're in Des Moines, Iowa today, were in Omaha, Nebraska yesterday and Boise, Idaho the day before. When we landed at the airport in Boise, from Portland, Oregon this lady from our plane came up from behind as we walked down the terminal. She approached me and said " Taylor, I just love your song and want to wish you great things in you career." I looked and her and said " Well, THANK YOU!" and then said " who did you talk to?" . (and then pointed to my Mom and the Label rep we were traveling with) I was convinced that one of them had talked to the lady on the plane and told her about me and my song. The lady said " neither one" and then I said " Well, how did you know who I was?" and the lady said " because I listen to radio and I watched your video" . This was the first time someone had actually KNOWN who I was and MY NAME. wow. I just walked over and hugged her, and said ...." You're the first person who's ever done that, thankyou." It was an amazing moment to remember, and I always will. "

" Lucy's eyes began to grow accustomed to the light, and she saw the trees that were nearest her more distinctly. A great longing for the old days when the trees could talk in Narnia came over her. She knew exactly how each of these trees would talk if only she could wake them, and what sort of human form it would put on. She looked at a silver birch; it would have a soft, showery voice and would look like a slender girl, with hair blown all about her face, and fond of dancing. She looked at the oak: he would be a wizened, but hearty old man with a frizzled beard and warts on his face and hands, and hair growing out of the warts. She looked at the beech under which she was standing. Ah!- she would be the best of all. She would be a precious goddess, smooth and stately, the lady of the wood. "
