Tying the Ribbon Anyway.

--M. Moezzi

I don't remember the context of this, but I like its sound. It makes me think of wrapping  a gift. And even though the intended recipient is suddenly injured or worse, you finish tying the ribbon before rushing out. Maybe it's a way of preparing--a tiny moment of calm beauty.

Small, pretty things, like a curled ribbon or a wide satin ribbon, can calm or re-energize me. But if I don't pay attention, I don't always notice.

Glints of beauty are worth the effort even when and maybe especially when I'm quite ill. Even when everything seems pointless and dark, I can still tie a metaphorical or literal ribbon and plant a seed of wellness and contentment.
