Making a Gate
“If you made a list of all the dogs you have ever known, how many dogs would be on your list? If you look at your list you may find dogs, not forgotten, but not remembered either until you called them with your pen. Where were they waiting? Why have they stayed, willing to be unthought, unpictured until now? Some of them have been gone a very long time."
~ Lynda Barry
The Patience of Ordinary Things
“It is a kind of love, is it not?
How the cup holds the tea,
How the chair stands sturdy and foursquare,
How the floor receives the bottoms of shoes
Or toes.“
Pat Schneider
