“When they gaze in confusion
at the broken, odd shaped, colorful
shards of glass that we are,
let them know
that we too belong here, here
in this gallery. Masterpieces,
we are not
here by accident
but have been carefully assembled
and put together and are held together
in this ceramic panel - our bodies of clay -
by good intentions.
We too are works of art.”

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
