Two nights ago I dreamed of a falcon and a dove.
And then I stumbled on the most beautiful word...murmuration.
.
Do you know those giant flocks of thousands of birds twirling about in the air like a cloud of black dust? They are made up of smaller birds such as European starlings.
The flocks are in a tight ball that morph and dance in the sky.
The dance is called a murmuration.
.
While it looks like a joyous dance, these thousands of birds are typically scurrying to get out of the path of a single peregrine falcon, giving birth, like if they were a single mind, to the stunning dance.This is the whirlwind in which falcon reaps his prey.
.
This ring is for the falcon I dreamed two nights ago.
It is for the whirlwind of the thoughts in my mind, and for the awareness of how much I contribute to it, like a falcon in the center of the murmuration.
.
It is for the determination to make my way through the chaotic dance of my thoughts and have the single minded determination to get through it.
.
I made it from sterling silver, using only the scraps resulted from breaking and failing projects of the past two months.
.
The stones are clear quartz. The biggest one has sentimental value because it comes from the mountains around here, the beloved guardians and teachers that I look at from my window.
Because I will keep pushing so that one day I will be able to go there myself and bathe in their beauty up close.
