David Moss writes, "Cause us to lie down in peace...The Talmud says that sleep is one-sixtieth of death and dreams are one-sixtieth of prophecy. It is not surprising, therefore, that as night falls we pray this beautiful prayer in the evening service for peaceful rest, for wisdom, for protection, for guarding, for compassion and life...This work brings together two very real objects from my life - a quilt and a bed - and celebrates that moment when night falls, when a smidgen of death and a touch of prophecy approach, and objects dreamily begin to recite their tales." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
