“Tomorrow might look different. You’ll have to wait and see. The world is never frozen still, it changes gradually. Then suddenly, it’s all transformed, and you can see it too, and you wonder why you’d ever doubt grey skies would turn to blue.”

— Ellis Nightingale

“Art is the burning bush that both shelters and makes visible our profounder longings. Through it we see ourselves in metaphor. Art is metaphor, from the Greek, meta (above) and pherein (to carry) it is that which is carried above the literalness of life. Art is metaphor. Metaphor is transformation.”

“I hope you all find yourselves sleeping with someone you love, maybe not all of the time, but a lot of the time. The touch of a foot in the night is sincere. I hope you like your work, I hope there’s mystery and poetry in your life — not even poems, but patterns. I hope you can see them. Often those patterns will wake you up, and you will know that you are alive, again and again.”
