Rhapsody in Blue

Italy
Antarctica

Why make so much of fragmentary blue
In here and there a bird, or butterfly,
Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,
When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?

Since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven (as yet)—
Though some savants make earth include the sky;
And blue so far above us comes so high,
It only gives our wish for blue a whet.

– Robert Frost

Tahiti
Fiji
Mongolia

I have found myself dwelling on the color blue and the way our planet’s elemental hue, the most symphonic of the colors, recurs throughout our literature as something larger than a mere chromatic phenomenon — a symbol, a state of being, a foothold to the most lyrical and transcendent heights of the imagination.

– Maria Popova

Togo
Japan
India

“Blue is light seen through a veil.”

– Henry David Thoreau

Burma
United States
Afghanistan

Blue is the typical heavenly color…
The ultimate feeling it creates is one of rest…”

– Wasily Kandinski

France
India
Cambodia

“I saw in a blue haze all the world poured
flat and pale between the mountains.”

– Annie Dillard

Uzbekistan
Morocco
Mali

“We love to contemplate blue,” Goethe wrote, “not because it advances to us, but because it draws us after it.”

Italy
Afghanistan

Blue is the unspoken language of universality,
seamlessly weaving through the expanse of
sky and the depths of water.

Philippines

“No water, no life. No blue, no green”

– Sylvia Earle

The Kingdom of Trees

Between heaven and earth, between mankind and the stars, lies the kingdom of trees; between that which gives us food, housing and work on the one hand and that which is incomprehensible
and unaccountable on the other.

Trees in the History of Civilization

Kashmir

Trees are Sentinels
Guarding, Nurturing, Protecting
Bastions of Dignity

Breathing life
Providing shelter
Asking for nothing
Sacrificing everything

-K. Earle

Tahiti
Namibia

Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them,
can learn the truth.
They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach
undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.

-Hermann Hesse, Wandering

Korea
United States

For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. Nothing is holier, nothing is more exemplary
than a beautiful, strong tree.

-H. Hesse, ibid

Thailand

Trees, proud standing people
stretching fingertips to the sky, reaching, praying
glorious attention, breathing light.
strength shelter timeless confidence
bending and firm comforting …

-Wallace Stevens

Mali
Italy

Planting trees early in spring,
we make a place for birds to sing in time to come.
How do we know? They are singing here now.
There is no other guarantee that
singing will ever be.

-Wendell Berry

Madagascar
Japan

No wonder the hills and groves were
God’s first temples…

-John Muir

Sahel

I hear the wind among the trees
Playing the celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent,
Like keys of some great instrument.

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

India
New Zealand

A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire,
in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a
dancing tongue of flame
to warm the heart.

-Hal Borland

Italy
Ethiopia

I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!

-John Muir

Easter Island

Portraits of Friendship

“Wherever we are, it is our friends
that make our world.”
– Henry Drummond

South Africa
Puerto Rico

“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing.  There is a time for silence.  A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny, and a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.”
– Gloria Naylor

France
Cambodia
Burma

“True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must
undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity,
before it is entitled to the appellation.”
George Washington

Burma
Yemen
Brazil

“What is a friend? 
A single soul dwelling in two bodies.”  
– Aristotle

South Africa
Cuba
Bangladesh

“Hold a true friend with both your hands.”  
– Nigerian Proverb

Tibet
India

“ We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed.
As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at
last a drop which makes it run over;
so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one
which makes the heart run over.”
– Samuel Johnson

Namibia
Lebanon
China

“Friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.”  
Aristotle

Ukraine
Afghanistan

Faithful friends are hard to find.”
– William Shakespeare

China
India
Germany

“The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand,
not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship.
It is the spiritual inspiration  that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Gift of Grandparents

Macedonia

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the
lives of little children.

-Alex Haley

Honduras
Tibet
Colombia

A grandparent is a best friend, teacher, cheerleader, and counselor.

Italy
Japan

There is no grandfather who does not
adore his grandchild.

-Victor Hugo

India
Malaysia

Our grandchildren accept us for ourselves, without rebuke or effort to change us, as no one in our entire lives has ever done, not our parents, siblings, spouses, friends, and
hardly ever our own grown children.

-Ruth Goode

Nepal
Croatia

The best place to be when you’re sad is a
grandparent’s lap.

Kashmir
Sri Lanka

Grandchildren are God’s way of
compensating us for
growing old.

-Mary H. Waldrip

Honduras
Afghanistan

Perfect love sometimes does not come until the
first grandchild.

-Welsh Proverb

It is as grandmothers that our mothers come into the
fullness of their grace.

-Christopher Morley

A STATEMENT BY STEVE MCCURRY

“I can think of few greater humanitarian
organizations than the EMERGENCY
hospitals in Afghanistan which have
operated continuously throughout the
turbulence of the past few years.
When many fled the country, Emergency
doubled down on their commitment to care
for Afghans as they have since 1999.”

– Steve McCurry

Starting on August 15, we are teaming up with Ishkar to raise funds by selling the print below at a special, one-time price to show Afghanistan that we have not forgotten.
More information coming soon at http://www.ishkar.com

All profits from the print sale will go to EMERGENCY’S
work in Afghanistan.

Where the World Begins

Tagong, Tibet

The world begins at a kitchen table.
No matter what,
we must eat to live.
The gifts of earth are brought and prepared, set on the table. So it has been since creation, and it will go on…

Deep South, USA

…We chase chickens or dogs away from it. Babies teethe at the corners. They scrape their knees under it.
It is here that children are given instructions on what it means to be human. We make men at it, we make women…

Budapest, Hungary

…At this table we gossip, recall enemies and the ghosts of lovers.
Our dreams drink coffee with us as they put their arms around our children. They laugh with us at our poor falling-down selves and as we put ourselves back together once again at the table…

Macedonia, Yugoslavia

…This table has been a house in the rain, an umbrella in the sun.
Wars have begun and ended at this table. It is a place to hide in the shadow of terror. A place to celebrate the terrible victory…

Perugia, Italy

…We have given birth on this table, and have prepared our
parents for burial here.
At this table we sing with joy, with sorrow. We pray of suffering and remorse. We give thanks…

Monsoons, Indonesia

… Perhaps the world will end at the kitchen table, while we are laughing and crying, eating of the last sweet bite.

Joy Harjo is an internationally renowned performer and writer of the
Muscogee (Creek) Nation. She is serving her second term as the 23rd Poet Laureate of the United States.

Tanzania
France

“Our family dinner table was like Speakers’ Corner in London.
We discussed, debated, argued, declaimed –
all of us at the same time.”
– Eugene Thomson

Karelia, Russia
Yugoslavia

“Happiness is a small house, with a big kitchen.”
-Alfred Hitchcock

Honduras
Flechtingen, Germany

“In the childhood memories of every good cook, there’s a large kitchen, a warm stove, a simmering pot and a mom.”
-Barbara Costikyan

Santiago de Cuba

“The fondest memories are made when gathered around the table”.
-Unknown

Moscow, Russia
Macedonia, Yugoslavia

“The kitchen is where you put all the ingredients together. No matter what you do in life, you have to have a
plan and put it together.”
-Yo Gotti

Pagman, Afghanistan

“Cooking is one of the strongest ceremonies for life.”
-Laura Esquivel

China

“Everything happens in the kitchen.
Life happens in the kitchen.”
-Andrew Zimmern

Beirut, Lebanon
Nouakchatt, Mauritania

“The kitchen is a place of adventure and entirely fun, not drudgery. I can’t think of anything better to do with family and friends than to be together to create something.”
-Ted Allen

Rangoon, Burma
