The Wise Owl

The wise old owl
Sat in an oak.
The more he saw,
The less he spoke.
The less he spoke,
The more he heard.
Why can’t we be like
That wise old bird?

Have you noticed recently that owls are “on trend”.  They are all around us in the form of a wonderful range of beautifully designed products from Not on the High Street and other  independent designers which remind us of their wisdom.   If owls can inspire the best British designers why not let them inspire you today on this Wise Wednesday by listening rather than speaking and maybe you would like to jot down your wise thoughts in a journal to remember them.
