Mother Of Pearl
 
It's been on a long journey. 
As I navigate hidden depths within my heart and soul, I dive deep within to find the wisdom and remembrance to help with ongoing physical challenges.
 
I felt quite frustrated with this piece, not knowing where it was going; it was irritating me. I only had to laugh to see the pearl at the very end.  Pearls are formed as a reaction to an irritant in the oyster; the more the irritant invades, the more the oyster secretes a fluid to coat the irritant until a beautiful pearl is formed.
 
Letting go of regret, anger, grief, betrayal, and injustice from past mistakes can be extremely difficult. Finding the trust deep within to soften and journey through the many layers, bringing the light in, but it is only through this process, again and again, that pearls of wisdom are formed.
 
Transforming pain into beauty.
