We may have to make cake..
Just so the walk wasn't boring someone had posted a few riddles along the way. I came up with a couple answers. Anyones else care to make a guess?
I like Macro Mondays weekly challenge as it takes me way outside my comfort zone which is to, ummmm….stay in bed, and find something nice to dream about.... perve that I am. But this week's theme gave me a problem. It's Wabi-sabi.
Apparently Wabi-sabi is a Japanese word roughly translating as 'imperfect aged beauty'. It is used to describe a particular philosophy that beauty can be found in the old, the everyday, the imperfect, broken and decaying subjects. Well, women aside, I couldn't think of many, and a tour of the house neither stimulated my imagination or turned up any objects that might fit the definition.
But eventually I thought of something. What is it? It has discoloured a bit over the years. But it is now almost 42 years old. And it has travelled half way round the world. When I was given it on a ship in the Far East I instantly recognised it. It was beautifully made. Specially for me.
Her name was Pauline. She was amongst the 346 Vietnamese refugees we rescued from a small sinking boat in the South China Sea in 1978. They were on board for two weeks in which time a lifelong bond was formed between the ship's crew and the Vietnamese. While on board Pauline made this for me, a pineapple, out of twisted, knotted and snipped IV tube she got from somewhere and gave it to me before they flew from Taiwan to Britain to start a new life. I've treasured it ever since. Forty two years old, discoloured, but still beautiful.
So, today, Linda and I were in a shop that had a bunch of rocks and fossils on display. As we were looking at a bowl full of ammonite fossils, the owner said he would give us one if I could guess how old they are. I said they are fossil ammonites from Morocco and are about 350 million years old.
Silence. More silence.
We moved on and I whispered to Linda that I wanted my free ammonite. I knew I was right on the age and location. After a couple minutes the owner fussed up and said I was right. He gave me one, but it was probably the smallest one in the pile. About the size of a quarter. He had them priced at $40.
Sorry about the crappy phone photo.
