Finally, a moment of solitude after the overextended holidays. My greatest wish now is, for the rest of the year, to be left alone to myself, my literature, my art, my jewelry, and my money.
To be left alone thus is the true meaning of "Resting In Peace," because it is resting from OTHER PEOPLE.
My necklaces: Above, faceted red amber; Below, black pearls interspersed with red, Chinese burial beads. The bigger beads are also antique and from the Mexican Galleon Trade. The carved, wooden female goddess pendant was a purchase from Ifugao Province many years ago. It reminded me so much of Eshu's consort, Pomba Gira.
The red scarf round my shoulders is a Chinese maiden's bridal veil.
