"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Comforted

Even the browning is wabi-sabi beautiful!

And the way this bit of red and orange landed on this tiny peace tag is beautiful too. It's just random strips of greeting cards...but it became a precious little art piece.

Sometimes there is magic on the back of the tag....one of you might recognize this handwriting.

And this sentiment landed perfectly on the back of one strip just by chance. There seems to be a lot of loss these days.... 



....but I continue to be comforted by this process.

    So much solace, peace, serendipity, joy, and uplift in your Words of Encouragement project, MaryAnn!

    Curiosity: are the various manual tasks involved in this project varied enough to avoid repetitive movement stress and leave your thumbs happy?

      I'm so glad that comes across...that's how it feels.

      Thank you so much for thinking of this Dotty....so thoughtful! I'm worried about the same thing and I do have some twinges and a bit of soreness. But you're right...the project is varied enough and I don't do any one part for very long before I move onto the next part. And I am stretching and icing and I wear my braces every night. Thanks again for asking!
