Surrendering to the shadows that populate our inner world.
Giving up the fight and accepting to feel what is uneasy and unknown.
.
To plant a seed is an act of faith. To take something so small, give it to the darkness, and to know it will eventually be broken in order to become more.
.
This pendant embodies all my current adventures in the land of grief, both the times when I try to be brave and allow myself to sink into my own darkness and listen to it, and the times I grasp for a splinter of hope and try to escape the uncomfortable feelings.
.
It is a very tactile pendant, almost a pebble, with its domed back.
.
The stone is a smoky quartz with an abalone shell below it.
It's a metaphor of the dark inner sea and its depths...and the treasures it hides.
.
I tucked marigold seeds below the stones, as a prayer to breaking and unfolding and becoming the bigger version of ourselves.
.
May we learn to dive into our deep waters. May we have eyes that see the beauty in them.
May we have the courage to be fertile seeds.
