It’s to my relief I found this stone. Smooth sophisticated and to my surprise subtle sage veins that match the details of my most adorned article when I hit the chopping block. A glistening backdrop to watermelon radishes are a welcoming apparition and insightful thought to use in a sunset aperitif. In addition to bleeding an intensely magenta hue, a peppery hint to an effervescent spirit may just be in the line up of upcoming evenings of two sojourners catching up on a long overdue merging path. I don’t know whether we’ll talk about the unbearable beauty of these shinri-mei, or “beauty in the heart” as they are referred to in their country of origin or of my fellow sojourner’s sage eyes. i dive deep into the pool of sage and transcendentally, they transport me into another realm.
