Beauty Unseen

Have you ever just closed your eyes and tried to see the real beauty around you. Like the sun on your face, the breeze through your hair or the song of the birds, the smell of the flowers, the laughter of a child, the softness of a kind word? Or did it take you somewhere further? Our Project Quilting Challenge this week was to be inspired by an amazing woman Annie Young. She's a painter, but not any painter she is blind. So, I read her blog, watched her videos and I had to put myself in her world. I asked myself "does it really matter if the bedspread matches the curtains, or if there is crown molding around the walls, or what color I'll wear today?" Unseen Beauty, This is what I named my project this week. I named it that because the MOST BEAUTIFUL of all things can't been seen at all. Many spend too much time worry about all the little things (they are just things) in their life that don't really even matter when we should be focusing on the most important things, that aren't things at all. I wrote a little ditty to go with my piece this week Unseen Beauty!

Like rain to the flowers,

Is love to our souls.

Sow seeds of kindness,

and a beautiful garden you'll

grow!
