Sister's Earrings
The other day we were having a class at one of the homes. The girls were all sitting around making jewelry. One girl finished a pair of earrings and showed it to the head caretaker. Suddenly I look up, and they’re all giggling and laughing. The sister (nun) who is very minimal, no makeup, a brown sari, glasses with her hair tied back, had these bright blue little bead dangling earrings on. It was the funniest sight ever. I think she actually enjoyed wearing them. She was smiling proudly, but giggling too.

I can relate to the minimalist nun. Every day my pony tail gets tighter and I pick which pair of overalls to wear in the garden :). You inspired me, Wend. Maybe I'll put on my aqua dangley earings today.
