He has
no need of fashion.
He wears
his own
unpretentious
heart.
Ella's prompt at Real Toads is: fashion, or offshoots thereof. This humble little fellow sits on my desk......he is covered, at the moment, by ash from the incense I so love (Nag Champa, the best!) and his friend the Dalai Lama is in place of honor beside him. Pup peeks over his shoulder.
As for me, I have never cared about fashion. But one might say I have a certain "style" : comfort is the watchword, odd things found in thrift stores, anything not the norm. My "style", such as it is, came into its own on the West Coast where we all dressed wonderfully weird. It came along with me back into a town setting. As long as things are soft, comfortable, and have wolves or birds on them, I'll wear them!
Yes. Perfect. Your heart is showing.
ReplyDeleteaww, yes.
ReplyDeleteStyle is very much part of personality. Your words remind us that the heart is the most fundamental accessory.
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect! I love this, so much wisdom in your words~
ReplyDeleteBeautiful :D
That's it Sherry! One dresses to please oneself not to please others! If it's comfy and reasonable grab it!
ReplyDeleteNicely Ma'am!

So deeply true. I like this.
ReplyDeleteVery simple, but very beautiful. Love it.
ReplyDeleteYes, the grace and humility are all that he needs to lead by example~ This is perfect Sherry ~
ReplyDeleteChloe is all about 'how she looks' and tells me she will take ME shopping and show me what I need to wear...Hmmm... I wear exactly what I choose to wear and feel comfortable in, she has yet to learn that it isn't the clothes which make the person.
ReplyDeleteYou and I are so alike in so many ways lol
We are dressed until our heart is showing...love it!
ReplyDeletefashion is a thing of cooler climate and youth....not a concern of mine. LOL
ReplyDeleteAloha from Honolulu,

So it is your heart I see on your sleeves! :)
ReplyDeleteSimple and graceful....
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I love that you've used your little statue as inspiration. I agree style should be comfortable.
ReplyDeleteComfortable is the best style of all. I love your little statue and his humble heart.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, Sherry..."his own unpretentious heart"!
ReplyDeleteK
Wonderful.
ReplyDelete...and I have lots of "style" too - just not sure one can call it fashion. :)
this is beautiful, Sherry! what better to be wearing?
ReplyDelete♥
We ARE kindred spirits!!
ReplyDeleteI love Nag Champa andI too, am one for comfort!
I looked for Elephant Winter...it is at the binders so it's on order for me but I got this instead: "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying," by Sogyal Rinpoche.
Have you read this? It was suggested after a poet friend mentioned that he thought of it after reading one of my poems.
So nice to read your humble heart, Sherry! :)
