The spiral theme continues. This little shell sits on a small porcelain dish on my desk. It reminds me of the Milky Way. Interesting connection, I know. :)
I cleaned my desk this week and unburied the rather large collection of beach stones, crystals, shells and other goodies that have taken up residence there. In fact, if it's possible I think they've multiplied under the stack of papers, art supplies and assorted Luke things that also collect on my desk. Each dish, bowl and cup in the photo below holds stones and crystals. Many are beach stones gathered from the shores of the Great Lakes over the years, including several Lake Superior agates and a neat specimen of a Petoskey stone. Some of the shells have traveled here from the ocean, from places like South Carolina, Florida and California.
Lots of crystals have found their way to me over the years, as well. I love the mystical and healing properties of stones and crystals. I enjoy being able to reach out and pick up whichever one speaks to me and feel its presence, the weight of it in my hand... the way its energy and spirit pulse gently into my own being.
My desk holds a nice representation of beautiful gifts from earth, sea and forest, millions of years in the making. Once and future treasures.
You'll find more haiku treasures here.
Peace.
i do see the celestial beauty inherent in this. love the movement of the cosmic swirl.....
ReplyDeletebeautiful haiku to a tiny universe.
thank you for being here and your place in our hearts.
such a lovely poem for a perfect picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat ever happened to my Petoskey stone? Several times in my younger days, I had to leave stuff behind when I moved. I had a huge sea shell display I mounted on a board so it looked like the ocean bottom. I wish I had it now. Oh well. C'est la vie. I have to just come back and look at your collection.
ReplyDeletei can see the milky way in that shell, too. and your desk is a veritable treasure trove!
