Good Words For The Weekend

August 29, 2008 By Jenny Ryan 2 Comments

“God divided beauty and gave it to the ten:

Henna, soap, and silk-these are the first three.

The plough, the livestock, and the hives of bees-

That makes six.

The sun when it rises over the mountains-

That makes seven.

The crescent moon, as thin as a Christian’s blade-

That makes eight.

With horses and with books we come to ten.”

-from The Tenth Gift by Jane Johnson

    I do believe he also gave coffee and cream — the unknown eleventh and twelfth things of beauty.
