From Walt Whitman's "A Song for Occupations"

“…The light and shade—the curious sense of body and
identity—the greed that with perfect complaisance
devours all things—the endless pride and outstretching
of man—unspeakable joys and sorrows,

The wonder every one sees in every one else he sees….
and the wonders that fill each minute of time forever
and each acre of surface and space forever…“

Shortstack - "Vietnam War Movie"

From "Gilead" - Marilynne Robinson

“…I lay there against my father’s side with my head pillowed on his arm, hearing the wind, and feeling a pity that was far too deep to have any particular object. I pitied my mother, who might have to come looking for us and would never, never find us. I pitied the bats and the mice. I pitied the earth and the moon. I pitied the Lord.”

Patrick Bringley on Loretta Pettway Quilt - "Lazy Gal Bars" (1965)

Loretta Pettway - Lazy Gal Bars

“…I am moved by the quilt’s geometry and also by its imperfections: the slightly wandering lines; the swift, unfussy stitching; the improvised materials. It has an abundance of art’s most heartening qualities, including diligence and inspiration.”

- Patrick Bringley, from “All The Beauty In the World”
