The beauty of the world becomes an anchor...

I simply can't get enough of the sight and feeling of the yarn that i bought from Wooly Wonka,
it is heavenly! Soon it will be used for a shawl, similar to this one that i came across (and fell madly in love with) at Harriet Goodall's inspiring blog. The pattern that is used is the Elizabeth R Shawl by Judy Marples.
It feel sooooo good to have been able to finish every single knitting project that were laying around here just waiting to be finished!!

I have just had such a lovely time visiting Shawna's beautiful blog, her blog always fills me with a feeling of beauty and calmness when i am visiting....such a treasure of a blog! Very often, like today, i make myself a cup of tea to enjoy while i spend time there because i know that i will stay there for a long while...*smiling*...


"It seems to me to be a useful exercise to list those thing you love, those things you find to be beautiful, from time to time, whether you're a poet or not. The simplest things, the oddest things. A line of poetry, a bowl of peaches on a windowsill, the sky. What we love, the beauty of things, the beauty of the world, becomes an anchor then, for times of gladness and times of sorrow, as well.
 
Or for even times, of "oh, I don't know."

I always knew I loved the way light trickles down through leaves in a small forest like honey through your fingers. But until I started taking photographs of it, standing in the rain of it, I didn't know you could catch drops of light-honey on your tongue. I didn't know you could breathe in the light of a leaf and hold it inside you for days. I didn't know, quite, the taste of light mingled with green leaves, my heart, at the end of summer, say."
