Tiny Nest

Going thru some pots on the side of my studio I came across this little tiny bird nest. I couldn't believe it. The pots have been on there for some time.I use them for Piquetassiette. Here was this lovely gentle little nest. All sorts of bits and pieces intertwined, even my hair, so beautiful. I brought it in and placed it in my cupboard. It sits there to remind me that there is a quiet gentle, order and rhythm to life. I stood still long enough to see.
