Recommit to the Work that Remains Undone

With respect and celebration I'd like to pair this quote with a painting I completed today.

"Juneteenth is a time to recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. 
We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow's light."

-President Barack Obama

All Things Change

I'm taking an art class from Jenny Doh, whom I've long admired. This is my first piece from her class.

And I read a quote today in a book I'm reading for a book study that I'd like to share. 

"In a true dialogue, both sides are willing to change. We have to appreciate that truth can be received from outside of - not only within - our own group...We have to believe that by engaging in dialogue with another person, we have the possibility of making a change within ourselves, that we can become deeper."

-Thich Nhat Hanh

The author, bell hooks, used the quote in the preface to her book "Teaching Community, A Pedagogy of Hope".
