A Standing Civilization (Fit Together)
So yesterday, Will, Matthew and myself were at that fantastic Cleveland Museum of Art. And I saw this Matisse sculpture with the accompanying text.
Fit the parts together, one into the other, and build your figure like a carpenter builds a house. Everything must be constructed, composed of parts that make a whole...
~ Henri Matisse (1869-1954)
And I thought to myself, Humm... If only we all thought we were truly necessary, and that we couldn't survive without the other... That we were all beautiful parts of the whole.
