The Four Immeasurables

It's brushed silver, which means that it feels soft. I love the saddle shape of it, and that it feels perfectly balanced on my middle finger. It's in Thai, a language I know a very very little of, but still feel close to. It says 'love, passion, joy, equanimity.' Good reminders for us all. It's a Christmas gift from my mother that I just adore. I guess she knew when I mentioned it twice that I was serious!

Anyway, just thought I'd share that with you. You can have another look over at PineappleSeed where it comes from, if you're interested. I don't benefit in any way if you buy something from them, but I think they're a pretty awesome (San Francisco based!) company.

And some more interesting things I found recently around the web:

A lovely video about the Sartorialist here. (He takes photos of people on the street wearing stylish clothing. It's better than that sounds.)

Scott Kelby's Best of 2010 Awards. Worth a click.
