 I rescued a red Japanese wall hanging. Why? Because it new and free. Because it was clean and pristine. Because it was red. Because it had two handy rollers and an A hanging strap. 

I wanted to save the money used to clear litter, and the space given to discarded items which clutter the earth and endanger animals. I was sorry for all the people who had worked to make the work of art. Above all the person who designed it, thinking their creation had created pleasure and would last forever.

I also felt sorry for the seller. And the buyer, who thought it would be a welcome gift. Did they have buyer's remorse? 

Back home, I looked at it. I could understand buyers' remorse. The lady in the portrait was rather sour faced, which made me sad.  So I took out a pen and gave her mouth a slight uplift.

I was looking for something red to complement a red outfit, a red butterfly blouse which I and my husband had seen before. There was the answer, the solution, what was previously unseen and unused, by the previous owner, and by me, the wall hanging, waiting to be exhibited.

I added a filter.
