Convergence

~*:: Convergence Necklace in Sterling Silver, $49 at Kasia Blue ::*~

Balance.  It is a common theme that has been woven through my life like fine silken thread handspun by the hand of God.  Things are never one way or the other, for a balancing force will come to equalize any joy, celebration, heartbreak or woe.  In my life, they are hand in hand.

It's funny, others seem to have continual flow of goodness (whether real or perceived)  that does not seem to be countered by the notorious balancing force that is swift and timely.  Maybe it is not their lot to be down the middle road, the one that I have chosen to walk in this lifetime.  Maybe they have chosen boundless abundance and an easy life.  I'm sure that all is not as beautiful as it seems looking through the kaleidoscope of life.

I chose to call the above necklace Convergence, for it seems to be the perfect balance between soft and hard, angular and smooth.  I love the smoothness of the cut plane that contrasts with the rough crystalline druzy that awaits on the inside.  A perfect balance of natural beauty.

 Balance has kept things in perspective.  Balance has made me compassionate, loving and thankful for all that I do have.  There is always bliss to be found in despair, direction in the mire of stagnancy, hope in the darkness of the soul and love in the heartbreak of loss.

All being said, I am grateful.

After the Rain

After the rain

comes coolness

silken petals

wrapped

in comfort

from the heat

of morning

sun

Cinders

I am turning into cinders

my old self is

slowly

rapidly

burning away

I did not realize

what was happening

to me

until I had started to feel

the fire creeping

up my back

I am slowly

burning

to the ground

my emotions

are swirling

dancing like flames

engulfing all that I was

before

I  became

a whisp of smoke

carried away in the wind

I am smouldering

my roots are crackling

breaking by the burden

of the heat that is rising

from within

daring to destroy

the one that has resided

within me

for so long

In my discomfort

the searing delight

that has surrounded

all my escapes

is no longer

an open door

the pheonix

has started to grow

her wings

in the cinders

of my soul
