May something come to you

I am preparing to ship these little Goldfinches for the Autumn Exhibition, which is being held at @thestationrichmond, North Yorkshire, and will be open from the 11th of October to the 5th of November.

However, I couldn't find a nice title for them yet.

Nonetheless, I found this beautiful poem that is way better than a simple title, and it expresses my thoughts about these lovely little birds marvellously.

May something come to you

Good Sunday, everyone!


Goldfinches

" …are said

to eat the thorns

of Christ’s crown,

to lift some small measure

of his suffering.

Whatever your grief,

however long you’ve carried it—

may something

come to you,

quick and unexpected,

whisk away

the bristled edge

in its sharp

and tender beak."


 Danusha Lameris
