Guess I should have added the photo to my previous reply...This is the bear I took to college. I still have it in bed w/ me. It went to the hospital when I had my daughter, mastectomy, traveled through Europe and everywhere & anywhere I go. There’s a big note where we keep luggage to be sure she gets packed! 🐻

Awwwwwwwww.

Adore this one.

@1Professor   A little worse for wear, for sure. Her name’s Miss Penny because of her copper coloring, of course.

@1Professor   Pitiful now, but much prettier face when she was younger. Hope no one ever says that about me. 😜

I also study wabi sabi.

Wabi-sabi 侘寂 values impermanence and the withered marks of age.

Nothing is perfect,

nothing lasts,

nothing is finished.

     Beautiful.

@1Professor   Loving that. Just printed it to keep. Thank you.

I write stuff.

So glad you connected with it . . .

@1Professor  ...with all my heart. 🌸

@1Professor   Perhaps the principals of Wabi Sabi is the reason Asian cultures revere their aged family members and honor them with refuge in their homes.
