Imperfections

All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
– Gerard Manley Hopkins


Had to go to our old stomping grounds today for a meeting. Had breakfast at Cabeção with Paulo and Isabel, morning and lunch in Mora, and then a long visit with the Anemas in Lavre. Their farm is filled with beauty - the wabi-sabi kind of beauty. Have added an interior shot as well because shows why I love it.
