These days everything went through the filter of knowing that she might be dying. And not a lot made it through. (Lis Wiehl)
I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles. You will hardly know who I am or what I mean But I shall be good health to you nonetheless And filter and fibre your blood. View quote
Walt Whitman

"Yes-yes!” Jon bounces up and down on the balls of her feet. "How much coffee did we have this morning?” Pete asks, suspicion dawning. "All of it!” Brains absorbs this fact slowly. The room he and Pete shared didn't come with a filter machine, but there was an industrial-sized one in the motel lobby. If Jon drank the entire jug- "How many times did you refill it?” asks Pete. "Only three times! It kept running out!” Brains glances at the vicar. "Are we going to need a tranquilizer dart?” he murmurs. View quote
