mmkay, THAT was weird...

[labelleizzy]

mentioned bout my compost, the last post?

was thinking about gardening today, went to check the bin and see how much work it would be to shovel/rake the stuff out into the garden... saw a plastic ziploc in there.

I was thinking, well, that must have just been us being lazy, not emptying one of the bags of ...stuff we'd collected for compost...

so I reach in and fish it out...

and there's no rotting vegetable matter inside, instead, there's RINGS.

specifically, my high school class ring, and my wedding and anniversary rings from my first marriage.

WTF? I know I was intending to put those away somewhere safe (THOUGHT I'd put them in the safe deposit box), have been planning to do some kind of purification on them (and then return the wedding ring to either a cousin or a niece for future use, to keep it in the family...)

I have a slight idea of the mishap that might have landed that bag in the bin... but it's still weird.

Somewhat karmic, and the end result (energetically) is probably the same as what I MEANT to do with them...

I'm still sitting here with this odd look on my face. The rings are soaking and I'll take them to be cleaned, then figure out the final disposition. It's Errand Day today anyway.

They've been purified by the earth.

Well, for some definition of the word "purify", I suppose.

Purify... that's what I was thinking. the whole composting energy, Ereshkigal and Gaia doing the reclaiming thing...

Yeah.

When you get a chance, let's talk.

Funny they ended up there. I'm not sure whether that's a purify and return, or a request that you let them go. I'm leaning toward purified and returned, based on how you tell it. Either way, it's interesting.

well, I've worn my engagement not-ring a few times recently, and it feels good to do so. (I designed it back then and we had it executed by a talented local jeweler, J had an earring done with a mirrored pattern, as his engagement gift.)

I like my anniversary ring just as a ring, and in a lot of ways it's a good reminder of the positive things about that relationship - but also embodies, symbolically, some of what was lacking. I think I could wear it again.

And I would love to talk. Soonest would be better, before DR would be preferable, as I have stuff to sort thru and release before then, and I wanted to talk to you and to your One Sweetie, and about your One Sweetie.
(I fancy him. He is cute.)

He is cute, isn't he.

Hmmm....

Here's a thought. Why don't I give you my phone number? Imagine that... then we could talk, or arrange to meet and talk or both, or heaven knows what. Whaddaya think?

And strangely enough, last night I gave away the Beautiful Sweater. Alpaca wool. Earth tones, rainbow mixed up together. And I've had it since 1198. Gift of a long ago love. And I don't wear it.

It was time. It found a new home with someone who loves it and appreciates it. I felt funny doing it, but it is better now.

i had a similar Beautiful Alpaca Sweater, the first time I splurged on something beautiful Just For Me. (this was back in college, so nearly 20 years ago - hasn't been my size since... 2001?) I also gave it away recently, at the last clothing swap, to someone who really appreciated it - and it still looked new, so that was AWESOME!

Letting go is difficult sometimes but often liberating.

Have saved the number. On the way to rush out the door just now to see the high school's musical's closing night - if it isn't great tonight, it never was.

how late is okay to call? I'll be doing work and Work later tonight as Boy is still not home from his conferences.

let me know.

we may be going to dinner and a party, so probably before midnight is fine.

If u get VM, leave a message and I can try to ring you back. I'm hearing a bit of urgent in your tone, let's try and talk.

Oh... and for work with E, I follow the phase of the moon quite carefully. I shall explain. hugshugs

Sometimes if you wait too long, things take care of themselves. *smiles* One more step to getting rid of the old stuff. *hugs*

So, those items were not amongst the stolen articles when you got robbed a while back, right? I don't recall what was on that list.

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

yeah, I remember thinking it was ... funny... that an obvious wedding ring with diamonds (albeit small diamonds) wasn't stolen.
*shrug*
obviously I had some issues still to resolve.
