“Existence, when there might just as well be none: the sheer presence of materiality, vast and deep, everything and everywhere. Existence rustles. It wonders. It wants to recognize itself, wants orientation. It must, for it evolved animals like us that feel compelled to do such things. Recognition, orientation: how could it begin? A cairn, perhaps. Stones gathered, the largest few settled on flat earth, and the rest built up from there: slow, one stone at a time, keeping things whole.” p. 22.

DID IT HELP?
Well? Eyes look up
when the door opens,
Like questions
wanting to know.

THE QUIET WOMAN
Coming and going
returning over two passes
the same way he came
Karen’s fabric-cut landscapes
Roomful of women quilting
