Today's Wabi Sabi



I'm in the mood today for old, beloved, solitary things, with the patina of age on them and the salt of ancient (even vanished) seas.  Burnt lamb yesterday, with the char of a too-hot grill, fit my yearnings for a not belligerently all-American day, and the volcanic ash in the sun-softened Morbier, the coolness of pink roses against a weathered wood fence, good people with lives fully lived, a cat with eyes closed and spine prominent near to hand.
