From Batik in Many Forms (Laura Adasko and Alice Huberman, 1975):
"We are Constantly creating a design for our lives as we are creating designs in batik. And the design is always changing, always growing. That is the external excitement and expansion of our lives' designs. What we do and who we do it with define the design, color it, and extend it into new patterns and undiscovered lands. That is how we continue to meet ourselves and to be continuously reborn."
This book is very dear to me. So exciting to find parallel spirits from the (not-so-distant) past!
