We’re making Interesting, Worthwhile and Pleasurable Pinwheels this week!
A favorite of 19th century children, the pinwheel is just as fascinating as it ever
was, engaging even the good people of modern society with endless hours of
enjoyment.
One look at a harmless pinwheel, and all thoughts of wealth and power recede,
leaving idleness and contemplative knowledge to usher in a barrage of
lightheartedness and play. Wooo!
I don’t see why we shouldn’t just be making and playing with pinwheels all the
time! Besides, they look really simple, and they are, for the most part, really
simple, but then again, complicated and complex. Pinwheels may feel
old-fashioned, but hidden within them are enigmatic messages older than sand.
To paraphrase Steve Perry from Journey:
The Pinwheel in the sky keeps on turnin’
I don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow
If you’re runnin’ down that dusty road, or stranded in the sleet and rain,
duck into Akbar and take part in mischief and drink.
See you at the Craft Table,
