Mosaic Wall / Philadelphia's Magic Gardens / July 2007

We who are clay blended by the Master Potter, come from the kiln of Creation in many hues. How can people say one skin is colored, when each has its own coloration? What should it matter that one bowl is dark and the other pale, if each is of good design and serves its purpose well.

~ Polingaysi Qoyawayma (Elizabeth Q. White), [In the Hopi language, the name Polingaysi roughly translates to "butterfly sitting among flowers in the breeze"]
