| Text Translation | Jumbled diamonds halved and quartered turned and sorted, smallest angles all the same. Does this cutting, folding, stitching, piecing, pairing, splice of planes drive me crazy or keep me sane? Count the sunbursts, crosses, stars. Count the prisms, ladders, bars. Lock their union in your eye. Does this cutting, folding, stitching, piecing, pairing, splice of planes drive you crazy or keep you sane? Thirty-two panels, thirty-two worlds thirty-two ways to measure our days our days, our days. Every diamond bright and cut every point aligned. Peace in pattern’s harmony the chaos of the world contained made shining in my hands where peace has kept me sane. Mary Moore Easter |
