Let Your Hair Down
Blessed are the people with whom we can let down our hair, who will walk with us in conversation or silence, who will take our hand and swing it cheerfully between us as we go.
Who can you let down your hair with?
Out of Line
Three penguins neatly in a row, but look carefully and you’ll find the one who is hiding behind a plant, probably pretending he is a secret agent. This penguin knows things the other three don’t.
How do you step out of line when then world seems a bit too regimented?
Offering Flowers
The Buddha looks well pleased to be surrounded by flowers, lovingly placed and grown for his delight.
What do you offer to that which you hold most holy?
Washboard
Sure, you could use a washboard to wash your clothes, but those of us with access to washing machines generally find them a whole lot easier to use. But nothing sounds quite like a washboard, when you play it with a guitar pick or drum brushes. How useful something is often depends on how you define its usefulness.
What do you like to use in some way other than what it was designed for?
