November BJP
I recently finished my November page for the Bead Journal Project. It's simple - and for me, says it all. Not just for this time of year, but for all year long.
Leaves of Grass
This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body
- Walt Whitman

It's lovely! I love the colors and the concept. Nicely done!
Grace, you've done it again and this page is a glorious reminder of the natural bounty of mother nature. They look good enough to eat too.

Sometimes simple and to the point is the best choice! I love it, Grace :-)
