i buried the past with my offering

i gifted white shell woman as a holy sacrament for the many ways she blessed me and my children.

i gifted turquoise stone woman as a holy sacrament for the many times she was a shield from the unwanted and jealous gaze.

i gifted coral shell woman as a holy sacrament for the many words that were spoken against me and prayed they be returned back to who and where they came from.

i gifted abalone shell woman so that i could find forgiveness in my heart so that i would be able to live again.

as i buried the past with my offerings i realized how fortunate and blessed i have been.

i remembered the storying of my life is a also gift for those yet to come.

for in our pain there is beauty.

beauty below.

beauty above.

beauty in front.

beauty besides.

beauty behind.

beauty within.

beauty all around.
