Simple Beauty

Simple ordinary beauty

 

Simple ordinary beauty.

One moment fully present.

Not seeking happiness giving it instead.

 

 

Simple beauty small things count

 

Small things count. 

One word.

A nod, a wink… a hand held.

Holding the door open, letting someone go first,

loving without measure, small gestures count big.

Kindness in action.

 

Simple tool hook and eye

Hook and eye.

Simple helpful little tool.

Not glamorous, often hidden, holds pieces together, without fanfare.

Ordinary genius, brilliant.

To be without expecting anything.

 

The history of art

 

The history of art:

A glass,

a pincushion,

a pair of drawer handles,

Started with coloring outside of the lines.

 

Needles antiques

Needle and thread. Meditative prayer.

Connecting one to another.

Attachment, caring, taking time.

As you are, and always will be, a generous hearted woman:

Happy Day After Birthday Mom.

  1. Corey, your mom has a real eye for design. Her garden is fantastic, as are the pictures I have seen of her shop! Hope she had a wonderful birthday.

    Corey, those photos all reminded me of visiting my Favorite Aunty’s house–especially the wooden spools and the pincushion. Very happy memories.

    The mere sight of that detailed photo of a packet of hooks and eyes made me gasp, took me right back to learning to sew from MY mother. Who isn’t around to have birthdays anymore.
    Happy birthday to your mom. Enjoy her.
