"Ten times a day something happens to me like this - some strengthening throb of amazement - some good sweet empathic ping and swell.  This is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing I know: that the soul exists and is built entirely out of attentiveness."
            -Mary Oliver, poet

The Ritz Theatre

"I've tried to become someone else for a while, only to discover that he, too, was me."
            -Stephen Dunn, poet
