Focus On Life Week 12~ Observe the Curve

This week's assignment was to observe how curves show up in our lives.

I was cooking lunch when I read Sally's prompt (on my phone), an started observing...
Everything had soft curves! From my spice box, to the frying pan to the beveled edges of my kitchen counter, the legs of my chairs and table, even the flame I was cooking on had gentle curves.

Then I looked around some more, and noticed the cabinets and doors that had sharp edges, and remembered how I am always mindful of avoiding them, as I bruise very easily.

This led me to the conclusion that curves are usually what I (and maybe most people) associate with softness, warmth and safety.

While finishing off my cooking, I decided I will take a photograph of my "french curve". Used for creating all kinds of garments, it seemed like a very powerful tool!

Later in the day, I was cleaning, and noticed a seashell we had bought in Hawaii. The store owner said it was actually used as a weapon due to its shape. It is beautiful, with flowing curves, and deadly "claws".

 I got into a rather philosophical mood and thought that it was a lot like human beings. We all have our soft sides, and our vicious sides. Some show the softer side more often, some hide it. But we all have both.

There are lots of layers that make up a personality

...some of them so deep that we can never completely figure it out.

We are all soft and curvy at times...

...sharp and pointy when needed

And this is true of everything in nature! As long as we watch out for the sharp edges (like I do with my doors, but I still sometimes run into them, I am very clumsy), we should be good :-)

This prompt really took me deep into my own psyche :)
To see what curves everyone else is throwing, head on over to Sally's blog:

PS: A thought just occurred to me that my favoritest curve in whole entire world is my Dad's bald head :)
