Beautiful decay, part one.

After we talked about seeing beauty in imperfection I began to see it everywhere.

Decay.

Beautiful, poetic decay.

Today I wanted to share a collection of photographs on that theme from our recent visit to the Circus Museum.

I realized as I looked over my photos that my favorites were indeed mostly of that - the slow return to the earth of what was made by our human hands.

I have titled this post "part one" because I suspect it will be a recurring theme through time for me.

Go slowly.

Linger.

And see beauty in imperfection.

P.S. I've shared my appreciation for decay before, including this long-ago post I thought you might also enjoy. That link includes an audio story that is tuning in for.

Love,
Rachel

No, you won't find me feeding into the myth of perfection, but you can count on me to show up real and raw with lessons and beauty that I find in the ordinary.
