When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things. Where is beauty to be found? In great things that, like everything else, are doomed to die, or in small things that aspire to nothing, yet know how to set a jewel of infinity in a single moment?
I had put an old teaching aid by the bin ready for the bin collection and when I looked at it today I was amazed at the patterns that the snails and slugs had made on the images, really quite beautiful in their simplicity and randomness.
Lovely - did you really throw it out?? Or did you change your mind?
ReplyDeleteyeah did you keep it in the end? haha.
ReplyDeletethat second one looks awesome.
I thought that the bin men had removed it but when I have just gone to collect the bin they have left it...... Serendipity.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the bin men liked it too!
