“The intense cultural acclimation period is over and now we want to stay – well not really – but our souls have been enriched. And isn’t that sense of soul-enrichment something we really hope for as this life goes by so quickly? Children grow, beauty shifts, lines of a poem seem to drift in and out of our reality and it is all so ungraspable.

We can’t own all of the piercingly beautiful moments or capture them, so I pray we can at least find that our souls have held on to them and grown from them. We are living in a piece of ongoing artwork and sometimes all we can do is watch in astonishment and be a part, with every breath, of the subtleties.

I could try and tell you in words about the amazing moments I have witnessed in the unpredictable corners of my days. If I am lucky I may convey a droplet of the vision. But wouldn’t it be better if we were all so alive to the brushstrokes right in front of us that we had no reason to stop and explain? We would be moving with a current of life so swift that it would sweep us all together… forming a witness without words.” ~ Frances Sisson
