people i care about are struggling with different things -
big things...
it leaves me feeling helpless...
sometimes stamping words is enough,
but today it felt cold...
so i heated the metal to glowing red
and folded it...
and heated it to glowing red
and opened it, gently...
creating not the crisper edges of most of my leaves,
but a soft opening form like a petal...
as the night progressed, they began to turn into a small pile
like offerings...
om shanti shanti shanti
that is a beautiful offering you have made. to make the blessings and prayers into a tangible object. and i know from experience that they will feel silky and look like folds of fabric. and maybe by making it a concrete representation of your positive affirmations it will become more real.
ReplyDeletethinking of you...

and as you created wonderful metal, the Universe received a peaceful energy which was received by those in need of it...
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I love the leaves very beautiful.
ReplyDeletebeautiful, both the thought and petals
ReplyDeletemay these delicate petals help to manifest peace in your heart, in your home and in the world...
ReplyDeleteMD - the feel of the beat and heat of metal - such a calming and transporting place - lovely way to send vibes to those who need them or to ourselves; and creating a stash is like adding prayer tokens for others. Love the colours created by the additional annealing. Go well. B
ReplyDeleteA therapeutic post to you and to those who are reading it. Beautiful offerings!
ReplyDeleteLovely words and thoughts. The best that one can hope to achieve I suspect. Nice to have a physical reminder of them.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I am totally digging what you did with the focal. That was so clever and added a lot to the design. I love all of the texture and fiber. Great job!
