Today, I came across a WordPress theme which almost brought me to tears. Not because of bad design, or missing features, or any such frustrating thing. This theme was beautiful, calm, peaceful, serene.
To be honest, I have never had such a response to a WordPress theme, and I never expected that I would. What a joy to view such impeccable work. What a beautiful gift then, to give this work away.
I shared my thoughts with the author:
Dear Curt,
I am a fellow designer, and I came to your site through your Cudazi Mono theme site.
I am a guy, a former soldier, and not generally emotional, but your Cudazi Mono theme gave me great pause, such that I felt compelled to share my reaction.
While I was reviewing the demo site, I had a genuine emotional response. I literally almost cried. A WordPress theme almost made me cry today. I have no idea how that is possible, but it is true. This theme reminded me of perfect Japanese minimalism, a calm pond, or the gentleness of the cherry blossom. Perfect.
Thank you so much for this wonderful and perfectly executed gift. This work is truly amazing and I am humbled by it.
Warm Regards,
Stan Brooks
If you should have occaison to view this work, I highly recommend it, and I am sure you will be as humbled by this beauty as I.

Within the next week or so, I plan in publishing my Mouse and Touch Gensture Library. The library consists of a series of visually self-descriptive icons, which are used to indicate various types of mouse and touch interactions on wire frames.
