The Lighter Elements Ring

Oh how I love lighter elements...

the wind

the water

the wings...

instead I am of the earth, of fire

heavy with good intentions and fecundity.

I create

I nurture

I burn

My physique has the bottom-heavy curves of an ancient statue

and my appetite is boundless.

The idea of sitting with my feet in mud comforts me, makes me sigh relief.

I love these things of amber and red, I hold them dear

but

I dream of flight

and fins.

I find the balance in my airy friends

in their laughter like river currents

and their limbs

that move gracefully

gesticulating

making salad

teaching yoga

.

I drive to the ocean

and sit at the edge

with the gulls and the pipers.

Sometimes the pendulum swing comes from the intentions in my favorite jewelry

or the weight of a lighter energy stone in my palm

or in my pocket for the day

.

The opposite applies, too -

when the fire goes out or I lose my footing it's time to do the work to rekindle 

and reground.

I wear my amber ring

and drive to the redwoods.

This ring blends water air and earth

in a potent spell

of peace and plenty.

Its band is a feather,

its stone is a collector's plume agate that I cabbed

here on my wheels.

In the light the plumes dance in and out of their watery agate like kelp beds,

connected to the earth

immersed in the ocean.

It is soulfully luminous

.

Stone and setting measure nearly two and a quarter inches long

and the band will fit a u.s. size 8 finger.

Start to finish every centimeter of this powerful companion was made here

with tender love and prayer.

HERE
