a ring inspired by movement and silvery swans... feathers moving and beating... flying into the air, free... like dandelion parachutes blowing in the wind... carrying with them our wishes...
~~~
needing to make manifest and work through the impending skin shedding that approaches... thinking as always of my grandmother who taught me to both knit and crochet... a snake of
sorts - signifying rebirth...
~~~
let no one - not even your self - suck the life out of you... follow your heart's desire, seek love, gaze upon the moon, celebrate each day, remain humble... return to life...
'thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people
are beginning to find out that going to the mountain is going home;
that wilderness is necessity;
that mountain parks and reservations are useful
not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers,
but as fountains of life.'

Beautiful work for a beautiful metamorphosis. Thank you for honoring John Muir's words, a man who I deeply admire.
ReplyDeleteThoughtful and inspiring work as always. John Muir's words are as true today as they were so many years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were little girls my sister and I put on "plays" for my parents. We raided my step-mother's jewelry box because she was a hippie and had the good stuff. She had two rings with bangles and we took turns with who got the "good" one. Love these. We also had a money tree. Thank you for this meaninful approach to your work.
ReplyDeleteI love it.
