"Once I was beset by anxiety. I couldn't tell right from left or orient myself. I could have cried out with terror at being lost. But I pushed the fear away - by studying the sky, determining where the moon would come out, where the sun would appear in the morning. I saw myself in relationship to the stars. I began weeping, and I knew that I was all right.
"That is the way I make use of geometry today. The miracle is that I am able to do it, by geometry."
-Louise Bourgeois
New York, 1977

May we all find our geometry, our moon, our sun, and each other, and know we're all right in 2012.
