There are some fabulous glassware on display at art galleries, museums and craft shops in Kansas. Ever since I saw glass blowing at Burano Island, Venice, I have come to appreciate the skill that goes into making glassware.
These objects are so beautiful, yet so fragile. You can draw a parallel with life, so appreciate it, handle with care, and don't drop it.

A haiku poem from Spence, on fragility -
Intricate design
Of natures web is fragile
