potential

'the creation of a thousand forests
is in one acorn.'
~ ralph waldo emerson

i treated this beautiful little acorn from leann weih as i do the acorns i pick up from the ground - as i did as a child, as my children now do for me as well - with reverence... treating each one as a treasure... so it was that i struggled with giving this acorn a home i deemed worthy of it... 



acorns represent inner strength, potential... like your thoughts... if one acorn could be at the heart of a forest, couldn't one thought, one dream, put out into the universe be at the heart of your lifetime? with energy and proper care - you can cause your dreams to germinate into reality... 

the components i now make are like acorns for me... each one holding the potential to grow and become something strong... to perhaps shelter and support someone in that fragile strength kind of a way...

your gift, your duty

in the depths of my soul, i believe that we all have a gift... there is something special that each one of us has to offer...


in the depths of my soul, i believe that with the joy that accompanies discovering what it is comes a responsibility to share it for the good of our fellow planet dwellers...
