No, I don’t believe in magical crystals, but I do believe in
mindfulness. These stones — gifts to me years ago — in my pocket remind me of what I strive for, with varied success:
clarity (the clear crystal) and an open heart (the rose quartz.)
The green ring belonged to a friend’s grandmother, and has become something of a trademark for me; the silver ring is, I believe, Tlingit — Bear, with its tongue out, to either catch good spirits or frighten off bad ones, I forget which.
The silver bracelet was my friend Judd’s.
