waiting in the ottawa airport
because there is a snowstorm in chicago
i decided to put these little things
photographed on a dreary, cloudy, sleety day
up for your looking.
a couple of baskets and a tiny shifu book
the book lives in the basket
the little basket is resting on the bigger one.
the fiber is hemp, hand harvested and spun by
mari yamaguchi
the pages are lokta shifu.
as yet, wordless.
like me,
sitting in the airport, waiting.
i will be in the toronto airport for hours, too.
sigh.
oh, our hopes for easy travel, foiled! but i LOVE seeing these pictures of what you described yesterday. i hope you have safe, if not efficient, travel to oz!
