Ambassador of Love

It's a jungle out there, people.

Just today I saw men and women getting spitefully cut off in traffic

insults hurled from a truly ill transient person

passive aggressive tones being taken at counters where strangers exchange money for packaged things under fluorescent light

I saw the forgetting of purpose

and the ignorance of our luminous nature

In my own heart I experienced the prickle of judgement

and the error of pride

and

in my silent witnessing of these things

("I am in judgement", repeated

" I wish to control my environment", repeated

fruitless wishes, I realized under the kind microscope of watchfulness)

I realized that I have to try harder;

that WE have to try harder

to let Love rule.

This cuff is shaped like a valentine's day heart

with rosy suede backing, pinked just like the felt missives my family and I made for each other

and for relatives on February 14th...

Little reminders on the piece to take heart,

be affectionate

colors that bring warmth to your wrist,

your mind

most certainly your own chest...

And a light-filled slice of prehnite set in fine and sterling silvers

to cut through the fog of routine.

This heart is worn with the meeting point facing away from you:

it is built to be worn that way

so that every time you hand your money to a clerk

a bridge toll-taker

extend your hand for a shake with someone you previously labeled 'stranger'

reach out for babies

produce

or

animals

that this perfect heart is what they see.

Trust me,

it will register:

I've worn mine for the better part of five days

and already the smiles I've received, the kindness it has invited is

immeasurable.

This particular piece is for a 6 - 6.25 inch wrist

HERE

Friday I will reveal the larger of the two, for around a 7 inch wrist.

From my heart to yours with great affection!

oxox,
