Another remakery off the bench!
Repurposed inherited gold was used for this deliciously weighty wedding band/birthday present/anniversary combo.
Just love the feel and heaviness of the 18ct gold...and of course, the fact that no new metal was mined in the making of it!
Am listening to the audio book, 'I eat the stars' (love love love the title!) by while I work, and so much resonates.
It does feel like humanity has reached a liminal point in time...it feels a bit that way personally too...a glimmer of an opening for change.
After decades of deep despair and environmental activism, which never seemed to make a difference, and then more recently stepping up into local politics to drive change, a recent Deep Ecology workshop with was also quite liberating. It feels like different points are connecting.
While I feel fortunate to have found a strong sense of purpose and meaning that helps keep me from curling up into a blubbering mess in the corner of a darkened room, there have been very dark days indeed. There still are.
But there's an acceptance now that was missing, a lightness and a freeing up. To breathe and embrace what we must live with, systemic societal and environmental collapse...but I'll keep doing the little things in my community like , to help build some resilience for the future.
We are all just stardust.
