I got the inspiration for this art quilt from a poem written by Hans Børli. (Translation from Norwegian by Louis M. Muinzer.)

One Thing’s Necessary
by Hans Børli

One thing’s necessary – here
in this hard world of ours
of homeless and outcast people:

Taking residence in yourself.

Walk into the darkness
and clean the soot from the lamp.

So that people on the roads
can glimpse a light
in your inhabited eyes.
