I meant to do my work today,
But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,
And a butterfly flitted across the field,
And all the leaves were calling me.
And the wind went sighing over the land,
Tossing the grasses to and fro,
And a rainbow held out its shining hand,
So what could I do but laugh and go?
poem, by richard legallianne

Lovely poem, beautiful jewelry.
There are some of us who are called by the brown birds and butterflies of life.
You are special.

Sometimes, Nina, you lead a very poetic life. The photos and jewellry show this. I know some of life is trudging, difficult and all, but you've got the poetry, too.

Do you believe in reincarnation? I hope so because I've died three times...

As always, I am struck by the poetic beauty of your photos! Immersing yourself in nature's beauty seems essential for you, if I am to take your beautiful creations as proof of what happens when nature communicates with your soul. Perhaps not work as such but definitely a vital step in your creation process...love love love your necklaces!
