Imagine your heart as a vast, open sea, endless in its depth, mysterious in its currents, alive with the whispers of storms and sunsets. To sail these waters, you are given two sacred gifts: reason, the steady rudder that steers with clarity, and passion, the billowing sails that catch the wind of your deepest longings. Alone, each is incomplete; together, they compose the poetry of a life fully lived.

The cup’s beauty and the lute’s song remind us: You are not ruined by what you’ve endured.  You’re being made into a sanctuary, for music, for warmth, for stories only you can hold.  Trust the process.  The kiln’s heat will cool.  The carving tools will rest.  And what reminds will be more breathtaking than you ever imagined, not in spite of the marks life left, but because of them.

Everything is in a state of constant change and that makes us constantly have to adjust our balance.
