new cup
We went to edmonton this weekend and enjoyed ourselves. I loved the downtown farmer’s market on Saturday. It made me wish we had something like it here in Calgary. I had a little money to spend, and was trying to figure out what to buy. It made me think. My practical self says I should spend it on food, or then, maybe clothes or something that will keep me alive, or warm in winter. But, as I was thinking this, a new little thought occurred to me. How art may be “useless”, but it takes a higher consciousness to appreciate it, and it inspires our souls, not just satisfies our appetites. Sure, I know, that most art can and does do both, and that food, and useful things can be art in themselves. But I also appreciate that it takes a really aware and higher level of thinking to prioritize beauty and inspiration, when resources are few. And so, I purchased this gorgeous mug. Crafted in Alberta in a wood stove, at a studio 1 hour west of Edmonton. It is my anti-depression medicine for next february, and its my inspiration that Beauty can be found everywhere.
peace.
