Initial Observations: Moms Love Being Noticed. Give Yours Proof.
This Mother’s Day, show the one who told you
That details
And noticing them matter.
How the act of paying attention
Can be a gift
more valuable
than most things.
& How
giving attention
with care about who, or what, receives it
Is a kind of everything that matters…
That she
& her particular details (in this case, her initials)
Matter beautifully
And warrant generations worth
Of love
Mamas, like heirlooms, Become.
A life is made of moments and stories,
A name is made of letters and meaning,
A monogram is made of initials
The first letter of each part of
One Particular Name
(a record of beginnings, of becoming)
…
Hers.

Welcome to Nota Bene (both Latin and Italian for “note well,” which we do around here!). At Waxing Poetic, we make things, and get the chance to see them made real (and loved, and changed – by all of you). Here you will find tiny actions, tiny pieces, and tiny particulars of our process – the small (and not so small) things that matter much.
Enjoy!
