I love it when beautiful things come my way out of the blue. This poem by Nicolette Sowder and its lovely art work by Lucy Campbell turned up yesterday.

May we raise childrenwho love the unlovedthings – the dandelion, theworms & spiderlings.Children who sensethe rose needs the thorn
& run into rainswept daysthe same way theyturn towards sun…And when they’re grown &someone has to speak for thosewho have no voicemay they draw upon thatwilder bond, those days oftending tender thingsand be the ones.~ Nicolette Sowder
A couple of my dear readers commented on the beautiful and enormous pebbles on Penzance Promenade and I thought that they, and you, might like another picture where a different set of the sculptured pebbles, have been joined by real pebbles and seaweed thrown up by the last crazy storm.

Thanks! I was pleased in the end as I started the evening think, I haven’t taken any photos today, not been out, lousy weather and then – serendipity! There they were – and alliterative too! 🙂

The artwork is beautiful, and the poem is exceptional and wouldn’t the world be a better place if that came to fruition. The pebbles are unbelievably beautiful. I’ve never seen anything like that so thanks for sharing.

They are gorgeous aren’t they? So lovely to come across on our unexpected treat of a walk in Penzance. 🙂

they really are, such a surprise to come across and so smooth and lovely echoing what the ocean produces. 🙂

I don’t know why these things don’t turn up at my house. 🙁
But glad you share your gifts with us. 🙂
