chance, rather than contemplation, illuminated thought

“Art is contemplation.

It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature

and which there divines the spirit of which Nature herself is animated.”

~ Auguste Rodin ~

 

“It is a mortifying truth, and ought to teach the wisest of us humility,

that many of the most valuable discoveries have been the result of chance

rather than of contemplation, and of accident rather than of design.”

~ Charles Caleb Colton ~

and here I have the possibility of a quilt design!

all from a prismatic moment on our living room wall this afternoon while we were undressing our tree.
