'knowledge is learning something new every day.
wisdom is letting go of something every day.'
- zen proverb
this basket, sitting on my unironed cotton cloth in the dining room, is an island of stillness... of simplicity... monochromatic... inviting... i hold this ugandan basket in two hands & think of the woman who wove it... it feels good...
i am so grateful to the women who have opened a fair trade shop locally... who allow us to touch these things ourselves, be drawn to them... this little basket had been calling to me... who wouldn't have welcomed such a treasure into their home?
'eyes of the world' can be found at 658 cookman avenue, asbury park, nj...
please support fair trade wherever you can...
