Look at the earth crowded with growth,
new and old bursting from their strong roots
hidden in the silent, live ground, each seed
according to its own kind... each one knowing
what to do, each one demanding its own rights
on the earth... So, artist, you too from the deeps
of your soul... let your roots creep forth,
gaining strength.
--Emily Carr, Canadian, Painter & Writer, 1871-1945
