...most beautiful is what is still unfinished / a sky filled with stars uncharted by astronomers / a sketch by Leonardo a song broken off from emotion / A pencil a brush suspended in the air”So Julia Hartwig’s “In Praise of the Unfinished” concludes, leaving her readers suspended in their own emotions. And yet this momentary captivity is liberating: while emotionally entangled, we achieve intellectual freedom by virtue of the poems. We continue on in our incomplete lives armed with the completing questions. Even at 85, Hartwig still discovers new mysteries...
...beautiful wood grates.There are details like this everywhere through the exhibit, fingerprints left by Balteo Yazbeck’s personal touch. This is the intimacy afforded by what Balteo Yazbeck calls the “intimate museum”: the connections drawn (both metaphorically and physically, with a thin pencil line ruled against the white walls) are the extremely personal products of one person’s mind.

By the time Romney took his last question (something about "men's rights" - a visibly uncomfortable Romney wrapped it up quickly), Gibbs was convinced. "Oh, yeah," he said...
...even if you can't get to a StoryCorps site, I really encourage people to take time during the holidays and grab a relative and go into a quiet room, close the door, and if you have a video recorder or a tape recorder or just a pad and pencil, take 40 minutes, 50 minutes or an hour and just ask them about their lives...It's a hectic time, but the greatest gift you can give is this gift of listening...
