Under the Sun


Standing tall under the sun.
Seeking out the light.
Singing to those last strains of sunset as they fall 
over the edge of the West Bench.
Looking to the hills (where does my help come from).
Knowing I will be sustained.
Knowing I am not meant to carry more than I can bear.
Finding gladness in the cascade of beauty around me.
I will not be moved.

One of a kind.
Hollow formed sterling & citrine.
Made for a woman who needs to feel bound in peace.
Maybe, made for a woman like me…

Thursday comes in with a steady blue sky here.
The sun rolls away all the clouds.
I’m barefoot in the grass with the tulips resting their nodding heads against my knees.
Have a beautiful Thursday, my friends.
May there be peace in your hearts.

Love,
Quilianna

    Dearest Plume,
    My breath is taken away by the sheer beauty of this newest work of art.
    Last night i was going back to your very first pieces you sold on Etsy, back when i first found you and was so very stupid and didnt snatch up every bit i could. And i just wanted to say i fell in love at first with your work, but i am amazed at how you have grown in your abilities, so smooth and detailed. Your work is one of a kind. I
    found other people selling their jewelry on etsy simular to yours, i had the fleeting thought i should buy a couple pieces, but felt like i was cheating on my first love. No matter how long i must wait, i will wait for You. For that perfect ring or necklace that i am meant to own and pass down the generations.

    So the short of it, miss Plume, i love you, your work, your writing. You have inspired me in more than one area in my life. you rock my socks!

    I also have a very funny story to share with you. The other morning i was in my bathroom readying myself for church and my 7 year old daughter is in there, and she picks up my ring (my plume ring) and starts to caress it up close to her face, very smeagelish like and whispers, 'when my mom is dead and in heaven YOU will be ALL MINE'!!!!
    this cracked me up. now you know even the children love your work. and cant wait till i die. hehe
