Beautiful piece, Michelle.

This line made me think of the sand mandalas that Buddhist monks make, spending three days creating the most beautiful and intricate works of art, only to pour the sand away once they are finished. A lesson in impermanence and letting go.

I think, personally, it's a shame to do anything in this life without treating it as a beautiful work of art, until that point when it's simply time to move on, whether spiritually or physically.
