After the breakup London, ON December 2014 Thematic. Homemade. Here. |
I wanted to end off this week's homemade theme - head here to share yours - with the somewhat sad sight of shattered eggshells.
In many respects, the egg is one of those perfect little structures of nature and biology, a self-contained engineering masterpiece that even mighty, tech-forward humans couldn't have invented. It's somewhat humbling, then, to come across an egg and think about how it came to be, and how little we truly understand about its origins and evolution.
I get weird like this every once in a while. Okay, perhaps more often than that. Thanks for indulging me.
Your turn: What other seemingly routine everyday objects make you stop and wonder?

This reminds me of the eggshells I keep in my watering can.. I keep it filled w/water.. did u know the shells and water act as a fertilizer for plants? Nothing like double use for a product that cost 'pennies'...
ReplyDeletevery true! sometimes i think w'all [me, for certain] are too busy + no longer see/notice all th miracles around us... too busy with smartphones [themselves an achievement] to see th real things in front of us. thank you for noticing + drawing my attention back to real life again! karen/tusenoch
