The Power of Furoshiki
It began with the Fedex delivery man who made sure I held the box in my hands. He was very careful with it, and I said to him, "It came from Tokyo." I have been to Tokyo so I know how long the box has journeyed. But then the pleasant surprise was the Furoshiki, a ceremony that I will call "The Unwrapping." I laid out the pink cloth and waited for my husband to arrive so we could enjoy the moment. Each bowl was perfectly prepared and perfectly created. We studied the differences and the similarities. We held each bowl in our hands. And tonight we will enjoy our meal in these bowls.
To any and all who participated in the creation of this lovely sharing of arts and craft, we thank you.
