1. "Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the question now. Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."-Rainer Maria Rilke (trans. by Stephen Mitchell)

One of my favourites: "To attain any kind of life in this universe of ours appears to be quite an achievement. As humans we are doubly lucky, of course: We enjoy not only the privilege of existence but also the singular ability to appreciate it and even, in a multitude of ways, to make it better. It is a talent we have only barely begun to grasp."

3. It's a toss-up between the three-toed sloth and the star-nosed mole. I like the odd critters.

It's the best way to combine sewing and caring for our environment :-)

Question 1. “We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.”

Question 1.
"Call on G-d, but row away from the rocks." Hunter S Thompson

Question 2.
Sure!

Question 3.
Dogs.

Question 4.
Bottled or tap. If I'm out and thirsty I will buy bottled water otherwise, at home I fill a big bottle from the tap and keep it in the fridge. OR, go to a natural spring and fill it up.

Question 5.
I prefer natural fibers. Obviously organic is a safer, more environmentally conscious way of producing cotton. Pesticides are killing not just the planet but people. They are likely the direct cause of my brother's cancer. (He's fine now, he was 4 when he had it.) It's good to be aware...

Question 1. What is your favorite quote?
• "If you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough." —Albert Einstein

Question 2. Would you like to be added to the Harmony Art email update list to be kept in the Harmony Art loop? (NO PRESSURE! A "no" answer will not be held against you.)
• Not right now, but thanks for the offer!

Question 3. What is your favorite animal?
• Panda bears

Question 4. Bottled water, tap water, or sparking water?
• Tap water

Question 5. Why organic cotton?
• Honestly, I wish I could afford to only buy organic cotton, but much like the other better-for-the-planet options, they are more expensive. I try to buy organic cloth, food, etc. when I can, but sometimes it's just not in the budget. Hopefully organic stuff will start being subsidized like the corn industry has, so the choice isn't made already for those of us with a bit less money.

Quote: "Think you can't change the world? Too late, you already have. It was changed for the better the minute you were born. There are more people than you can imagine who will never be the same because they came in contact with you, if only for a fleeting moment." ~Gail Purcell

Organic: healthier soil through crop rotation and dyes that don't hurt the environment

Tap water is fine with me
