thin places

"We painted to see if what was lost was in the picture. We composed to hear if what was lost was in the music. We sculptured to find if what was lost was in the stone. We wrote to discover if what was lost was in the story.
Through art and music and stories we searched for what was missing from our lives.
Though at times we hardly knew it.
Though at times we could hardly keep from knowing it"
—excerpt from Windows of the Soul, by Ken Gire
