A Box Full of Darkness

Posted on Instagram on February 10, 2019

“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.” (Mary Oliver)
.
Someday, after a lot of inner work and stumbling and falling.
After feeling a victim.
.
After feeling cursed.
.
You come to the point that these words by Mary Oliver start to make some sense.
.
You could do without that darkness that was given to you – but you kind of come to terms with the fact that you can either keep feeling miserable about it, or start to use it, someway.
.
This pendant is about this.
A reminder for when I will once again go down the old pattern of feeling like that.
.
With a Moth for comfort in the darkness.
A hand on each side to remember you are held.
A Seeing Heart in the back, to walk with Wisdom.
.
All hand fabricated sterling and fine silver with a stunning little Opal and 18k gold accents.
