A Little Vase

I am all of sudden loving this little vase.  It's a tchotchke to be certain, the gift of a former student from Iran.  I have taught children from all over this world in my 31 years as a teacher, and as a set the Persians are the most hospitable and loving families on the planet.

Here with a geranium blossom and a leaf cluster from on Japanese Anemone on the window sill in my bathroom.  We must all fill our lives with tokens of grace to recognize better the grace all around us.
