Rebecca

Kindness that always makes room

Abraham's servant wasn't looking for beauty or wealth. He was looking for kindness, and he found Rebecca, who drew water for him and all his camels without being asked, then told a stranger there was room to stay.

The oval is shaped by two hidden centers, and every point on its edge is defined by both at once. Rebecca carried two children, and like the oval, a mother's heart takes its shape from holding more than one. The cushion is soft-cornered and steady, built for rest, like Rebecca's open door for a weary traveler.

Two shapes, one inheritance from our mothers: kindness that always makes room.
