sol25 Tiny But Mighty

 

The "vintage" Casablanca version dangled above my head like a giant albatross for years. I did turn it on once, in the early days, when the temperature in my bedroom was unbearable; however, it bobbled and swayed like an aging dancer attempting a late night fox trot on the ceiling! Since then, it just "hung around" awaiting extrication. 

"Could you just cap it?" I asked the electrician after he did the required electrical updates celebrating my home's centennial birthday. 

"Why not a little fan," he suggested whipping out a couple of photos. 

That is how the tiny, but mighty fan found its way onto my ceiling reminding me that you can be tiny, but mighty.

Oh, how I love this: it bobbled and swayed like an aging dancer attempting a late night fox trot on the ceiling! And the end with the reference to Shakespeare - small but fierce. Perfection! Enjoy the breeze.

It is amazing how one little object can ignite a fury of images and feelings. Small but mighty indeed!

Things are getting smaller and more powerful. You have me thinking I need to replace our cumbersome fan. Arjeha

I didn't even know they made ceiling fans that small. Cute!
