'Congratulations on your excellent magazine - no wonder it is called “oxygen” - it truly is a breath of fresh air - free from political spin and consensus consciousness. It is refreshing to see verbal poetic form and visual lyricism so delicately balanced, with a harmonious partnership of abstract and objective imagery ... delighted to be part of a serious publication which is clearly listening to the deeper reflective voice of insightful reflection, compassion, and a willingness to reveal the truth of life and living in peace.'

Annie Dillard in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek (1974), writing about a walk she was on — 'You know you're alive.

When he freed the canary, it would perch on the globe and sing. All his life, wandering the earth, he felt as though he had a canary on top of his mind, singing.'
