Trivia & Oddities

Q: Where did the name Cezanne's Carrot come from?

A: We think of it as a gift from the universe. Early in the process of founding Cezanne's Carrot, we met and discussed several names. None seemed right, so we decided to wait and let the perfect name appear. It did. A few days later, Barbara Jacksha happened to read an email from one of her many New Age mailing lists. It contained the quote from Paul Cezanne that you can see on our home page: "The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution." Barbara sent the quote on to Lori and Joan with a "wild hair" suggestion that the journal be called Cezanne's Carrot. We all knew it was perfect. The tie to the quote brings in the serious spirit of what we are trying to accomplish here, and the name is playful enough to also bring in the laughter and joy.

(Another bit of trivia: the original email containing the quote also included a photo of a very cute and apparently enlightened chinchilla clutching a bit of carrot in its paws. Sadly, we decided not to use this picture.)
