Resilience shows up all around us.
Found this lil one on a recent hike and was reminded that though difficult times leave massive scars, we still go on. 💪

🖤 Raw Oregon mahogany obsidian — unpolished dragonglass. Born of fire, cool in the hand, radical by nature.

No filters, no faceting — just Earth’s truth in volcanic form.

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

Garnet is associated with strength, confidence, and renewal.

Joe cut this particular garnet into a shield, a small symbol for its' future owner that they're ready to fight.

I'm extra salty today, because my chronically ill, disabled, immunocompromised, elderly father, looked at me with haunted eyes and said, "And what happens if my Social Security just stops coming?"

And I wanted to burn the whole fucking world down. That he's living in fear is SO FUCKING WRONG.

Had to escape to nature today.

We found some interesting rock formations and a momentary lack of overwhelming anxiety.

What are you doing for your sanity today?

We need all the glitter/dazzle/sparkle we can get right now.

In the gemstone world, we call it schiller.

If we can be the schiller for one other person today, the world may be a bit brighter when the sun goes down.

And we all need that!
