Comfort stamped in copper…
I have crafted “Diddle-Squat” since the middle of December.
This year of the Water Dragon has started out with rethinking how I manage, use and express my physical energy and mental will. Many people I know, of every age, not just middle age, are feeling the same way.
This is no small thing. It effects everything from the work we do, to the work we pursue, to sexual and artistic expression, to how we express anger, and assert our personal will.
What it feels like to me is that I can’t do anything the way I normally do because that no longer works on multiple levels, from health to relationships to work to basic communication.
But what new, more effective “modus operendi” is going to take it’s place???? How do you refashion the very manner in which you function on a daily basis?
This is where getting back to my work bench and refashioning jewelry may help. The parallels between this craft and refashioning life go hand in hand for me.
Today I want to share an immense gift that the Universe put in my path for encouragement in this nebulous task. It is a purchase I made from another refashioned jewelry designer, whose name escapes me now. Her jewelry is on display at World Cup of Tea in Franklin, Tennessee. (where I am visiting my mother.)
Now I am not one for religious jewelry, but I am one for spiritual messages and this piece of jewelry caught my heart with a message stamped on copper which was OBVIOUSLY meant for me right now:
It is a Biblical verse from the book of Jeremiah: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord.”
Sure glad to hear someone knows what’s going on….
How beautiful ~ both the pin and the message. Thanks for sharing it with me this morning. Give your mom a big hug for me!
