early on in the lockdown
I needed to feel
like I had
what I used to call
WARRIOR jewelry
I bought some when I left starbucks
AND
MAYBE
it wasn't REALLY the jewelry
so much as the
STONES
I found this
WAYWARD ranch
PLUME agate
it was raindrop shaped
from the marfa area
it had this mysterious quality
a jeweler on Etsy
cut it herself
&
I bought the cabochon and I asked her
if she could set it somehow
so I could
WEAR it
BUT
the settings she suggested
weren't doing it for me
SO
I designed one
& she made THAT
it SEEMED a little busy
BUT
it was supposed to represent
some sort of
CONNECTION to that feeling from the beginning of the journey
when I wanted to be standing
at the bottom of the sea
that was now a desert
PROJECTED
into the
FUTURE
that I wasn't SURE
I was gonna
LIVE
to SEE
I don't think
that I ever told you about this
BUT
I'm looking at it
TODAY
