"And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson

“When we first met, there was a summer where I spent months in Michigan. Before I left, I had promised that I would send Hannah a photo every day. I stuck to that promise, and this is a collaboration between those images and Hannah’s collection of personal photographs.
We do it because we love art, we love working together, and most importantly — We love each other. ”
“Medicine, law, business, engineering... These are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. but poetry, beauty, romance, love... These are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman ‘O me, O life of the questions of these recurring. Of the endless trains of the faithless of cities filled with the foolish. What good amid these O me, O Life?’ Answer: That you are here. That life exists, an identity. That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?””
