Curation # 1 - Kate Sabicer b. 1986

"This frog has a song to be sung.
This frog isn't gonna spend his life in a swamp
Catchin' flies with his tongue.
This frog may slip and stumble,
But this frog tries again.
This frog will never grumble,
But fall to rise again.
This frog is staying with it
Like a tick sticks to a dog.
I'm gonna win!
You're gonna love this frog!"
-Kermit

Jim Henson brought a world of magic into everyone's home. He approached children in a whole new way- they are people, smaller, more imaginative people. You don't talk at them, but to them. They have a gift that so many adults has squandered and forgotten that they themselves once possessed- imagination and wonder. They see it in everything around them, and everything they do. Jim set out to make the world a peaceful place, to make sure that everyone knew that they were special, just for being themselves. Everyone is different, but those differences are not bad things- they are good, and should be embraced- and in this way, we are all really the same- just one family. I can't say enough how much Jim Henson has inspired me, and taught me. All I can say, is that I want to be like him when I grow up.

"Life is meant to be fun, and joyous, and fulfilling. May each of yours be that- having each of you as a child of mine has certainly been one of the good things in my life. Know that I've always loved each of you with an eternal, bottomless love. A love that has nothing to do with each other, for I feel my love for each of you is total and all-encompassing. Please watch out for each other and love and forgive everybody. It's a good life, enjoy it."
