the bathroom sink
when we moved here to this rather tiny island
our home was empty
only the incredible view of the Atlantic Ocean just outside the windows
and we knew upon seeing this place that it was to be ours
the bathroom is painted a kind of periwinkle blue
and the old porcelain freestanding sink is chipped and cracked
I fell in love with it upon first sight
I grace it with a tiny vase of sweetheart roses and a stem of hydrangea
I would rather wash my hands and brush my teeth
at my old, chipped, white porcelain sink
than those that are gilded with gold
for kings and queens
Why are we so moved
to acquire more and more and more

Philippians 4:11
Not that I speak in respect of want:
for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am,
therewith to be content.

Great photo, and I love the idea of combining flowers and soap.
ReplyDeleteOooh, what it is about women that I can read about a quaint old bathroom sink with an ocean view and be nodding "yes".
