Inspirational quotes for this second week of Advent come from Centering in Pottery, Poetry and the Person by Mary Caroline Richards (Wesleyan University Press, 1962). A second edition, with a new introduction, was published in 1989.
“It is in our bodies that redemption takes place… I learn through my hands and my eyes and my skin what I could never learn through my brain.”
-M.C. Richards, Centering, p. 15
