#13 - Joy


What is the point of having a waste-free home without joy, and without jazz?? 

My good friend Helga Boelen spends many patient hours working on her glass and stone mosaics. She believes that works of art should have a bit of joy, and and a bit of jazz.  I find myself looking for these two things in art and fashion.

At a recent art exhibition, I purchased a large photograph, Poet Tree, taken by Theresa Durning. Its' a beautiful black and white image of trees in Sandbanks Provincial Park. The jazz is found in a section of trees colorized with warm pinky-orange tones.  This simple composition will bring me great joy for many years.

Joy in my home is part of the journey.
