modern relic

the word 'relic' has to do with something that has survived... 

that makes us relics in our own way... surviving and learning by being open... 


underneath all of the patina, this ring has a very clean and modern edge to it... i was tempted to leave it alone - but it couldn't tell the story that way... 

i think that it displays the purity and tenacity of the human spirit... the depth of experiences gained to become who you now are... 

'do what you love.

know your own bone;

gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it,

and gnaw at it still.'
