Happy Days to you all! All the letters here are glass.
I love scouring the charity shops, the thrift shops, for jewellery to up-cycle in my glass work. today I found this colourful beady necklace.
There is a lesson for us all in the following poem by Brian Patten.
Inessential Things – Brian Patten
What do cats remember of days?
They remember the ways in from the cold,
The warmest spot, the place of food.
They remember the places of pain, their enemies,
the irritation of birds, the warm fumes of the soil,
the usefulness of dust.
They remember the creak of a bed, the sound
of their owner´s footsteps,
the taste of fish, the loveliness of cream.
Cats remember what is essential of days.
Letting all other memories go as of no worth
they sleep sounder than we,
whose hearts break remembering so many
inessential things.

Have often wondered why we can’t be more like cats.

Love the poem and how true it is that cats sleep more soundly than we do. Your beady necklace was a great find. 😃
