“music heard so deeply / that it is not heard at all, but you are the music.”

T.S. Eliot

I liked the opportunity to both make & have an honored, loving (and fun!) container for my feelings – all of which are valid (trying to still grow in that area).. On January 1st, 2021 when I made this, I was feeling some relaxation and peace and closeness to my inner child(ren) & wanted to try and sit with that. Everything in the jar meant something to me. Now that I look at it here in March, the pocketknife is especially meaningful as I am looking at freeing myself from some significant oppression & recently used an analogy that it was like pulling out a knife and ripping thru a tarp that I was trapped underneath. Sharing the jar time with others was/is treasured. Nice to laugh and enjoy. Appreciate this meeting and you all.
