Those who do not travel,

die slowly.

Planet Earth Ring IV

Of asphodel, that greeny flower,
like a buttercup
upon its branching stem-
save that it’s green and wooden-
I come, my sweet,
to sing to you.
— William Carlos Williams

Planet Earth Ring IV.
Handmade with recycled sterling silver and natural turquoise.

Planet Earth Necklace II

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don’t try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.
— Thich Nhat Hanh

Script Ring VIII

I went to have my astrology chart read by a friend. She told me I needed to become a leader.

Lead with example? With words? By teaching? What does it mean to lead? For me, a leader has to trust herself.

I wish I could trust myself more often. Can inner confidence just happen, or is it earned? Is there a pill I can take to achieve it? Perhaps to lead means to fully inhabit my place in this world and make it as beautiful as I can.

Script Ring VI

The woods were made for the hunters of dreams,
The brooks for the fisher of song;
To the hunters who hunt for the gunless game
The streams and the woods belong.
There are thoughts that moan from the soul of the pine
And thoughts in a flower-bell curled;
And the thoughts that are blown with the scent of the fern
Are as new and as old as the world.
— Sam Walter Foss

Script Rings

In this new series, I pay homage to ancient scripts. Their simplicity –and the meaning they carry (which most of us can’t understand)– has always moved me.

One of these rings may well depict a quote by Aulus Cornelius Celsus:

“Live in rooms full of light. Avoid heavy food. Be moderate in the drinking of wine. Take massage, baths, exercise, and gymnastics. Fight insomnia with gentle rocking or the sound of running water. Change surroundings and take long journeys. Strictly avoid frightening ideas. Indulge in cheerful conversation and amusements. Listen to music.”

I am you. You are me. We are one.
