“That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone,
that we are more deeply inserted into existence than
the course of a single life would lead us to believe.”

John Berger, 1926-
“The Sense of Sight”
art critic, novelist, painter

Circumstances


Dragonfly at Farmhouse Gallery & Gardens, Unicoi Co., TN

“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.
The people who get on in this world are they who get up
and look for the circumstances they want,
and, if they can’t find them, make them.”

George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950
Irish Playwright and Essayist
1925 Nobel Prize in Literature
