Things That are…Elegant

“Even the wisest woman you talk to is ignorant of something you may know, but an elegant woman never forgets her elegance.”
-Oliver Wendell Holmes

Things that are Elegant…

* The hands of a lover…
* A string of pearls…
* Bare slender birch trees…
* The tall Dutch gardener carefully tending his plants…
* Fingertips…
* Fighting entropy…
* Water flowing down a gentle slope…
* Miss Ellie Rothman…
* Tea served in delicate china…

    “There is nothing more awkward or crude than a person absorbed in self-importance. And there is nothing more graceful and elegant than someone who is not.” — Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche
