Elegance
ELEGANCE
The elegance in the room
That no one notices normally
And is rarely spoken of
Remains when everyone departs

Reminds me of God in Futurama “When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.”
Wonderful work with this. Love the sentiment expressed, and the simplicity with which you have done it.

Thanks for the kind words. Elegance and simplicity are closely related. Chinese watercolours, anyone? 🙂

Beautiful, Ben… it’s the Essence of the ineffable which leaves me almost (but not completely) speechless.

I am sure that beneath their fear and armour there is more than shallowness still. As infants they had natural elegance before their fellows drove it underground. How can we coax it out once again? That’s the question. 🙂

I think however that a person can cultivate a kind of “informed naivety” which is neither ignorantly innocent nor cynically sophisticated.
