I saw this picture yesterday and it stuck with me.
"Life would be better with more tutus."
What is the message in a tutu? It is light, whimsy, dances, and sometimes sparkles. As fashion cycles, there are times when crinolines are necessary to get the desired look. They are always in style in ballet and in the five and under crowd.
Mama loved the fashions of the 1860's. I cannot imagine them every day, but fancy full skirts with crinolines are certainly grand when the time and place is right. They are great for dancing.
"Let them praise His name with dancing; Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre." -Psalm 149:3
I think we can learn a lesson from the little ones who dress with no inhibitions. They wear what they want, when they want as they fill the days with play. The world needs less tablets and screens; it needs more tutus. It needs more of the thing that makes your soul sing and your feet feel lighter.
Today, I am grateful for tutus.
