a talisman of kindness

The sweet fox from the Lady & the Unicorn Tapestries at the Musée de Cluny in Paris looked a little lonely so I brought the shy rabbit over to greet him with a flower.

1.
A fascinating aspect of beautiful medieval tapestries is the sense of many things happening, but not quite in real time or space. That strange perception can wake us up, as our eyes move along the flat woven surface. A flower here, an animal there. We notice a cat, a fox, a rabbit, a variety of plants.
When we take a moment to notice each one, we appreciate the whole tapestry more. Life benefits from the same kind of Looking. When we take a moment to notice, or to wear, one beautiful element of the natural world, we remember each plant or creature is part of Nature, and we can see that Whole in each one of them.

Tapestry Life
The fox was not hungry
for anything
but beauty, for a little
grace, its own place
in the colors, among
the strange stitched plants,
to sit, and some breath
of wind behind
the tapestry, to bring it
life. Being Art,
both sly and soft, and
wise and tricky, fox
eyed the weave to hunt
meanings. Also soft,
signing luck and plenty,
the rabbit climbed
across the tapestry, across
time and space, from one Art
to another Art, to offer
a small shine of
new Beauty,
inspired by old Beauty, one
living thing to another.
