First, let me mention that I bought a beautiful Ethiopian Opal while on vacation in Helen Ga this past weekend. Needless to say, I was excited to stop by ZuZu's Petals Rock Shop. My plan was to purchase something to match the Lapis Luzuli (which I often hear called lapis or lapisluzi) earrings I bought last year but when I saw the opal I knew I had to have it. Funny how things work out in such a cosmic kind of way. Things happen the way they're supposed to happen. There's a serendipitous aspect to life, which by no means rules God out of the equation, but to me seems all the more indicative of His guiding hand. The key, I think, is yielding to it... being open to it.
This is a bit sad, but I cannot remember the lady's name who owns and runs the shop. And if by chance she reads this, I really wish she'd send me an email and refresh my memory.
Oh, and I also bought a nice little Agate bracelet. Really cute. (At least I think it's agate. I have a hard time remember the names of things unfortunately)

"Into The Mystic"
The Wallflowers
Now, here's something I wrote a while back....
"Small Ones"
Small ones came
On winter snow
From places
Only angels go
The reason why
They did not know
She saw him walk
This barren land
Watched him fly
The mountains grand
Wondered when
He'd take his stand
Which one did cried
Those secret tears
That spill at night
From childhood fears
Denied in vain
As daylight nears
A task too great
For such a heart
The boy too big
For such a part
In wars that children
Never start
Yet had he known
The watchers 'round
Had sent the other
Hurled to ground
The worth of which
Be still unfound
Laid there to claim
If but he would
It was a thing
Not understood
Hid just within
Deep shaded wood
Who with willing
Eyes might see
The one that casts
Love's gaze on thee
To draw you near
And given free
The question rendered
Could he know
And gather to him
Secrets shown
Why too she came
On winter snow
