things flow naturally forward


Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them—that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
— Lao Tzu

A variation on a wrapped patterns design; adapted from the "wishing papers" design by Diana Vandervoort.

The quote by Lao Tzu is in the bell box along with brass rings that make a quiet traditional rattle. Circumference: 11.5 inches / 29.5 cm; diameter: 3.66 inches / 9.39 cm. Completed 22 September 2012 (no. 164).
