This is about letting go.
 
Without even realizing it, I’ve been wearing a ring JE gave me.
 
It was silver. What else is there?
 
On Friday, I found myself in a store on Queen St. W. looking down into a cabinet at the ring for right now.

A reminder of Wasan Island. It found me.

Made by artist Karen Cameron in Owen Sound—Bella Grey jewellery design.

It will have a season. Then there will be the pleasure of finding another.
 
When I got home, I took the ring from JE off. It was easy.

There are beautiful pieces of jewellery that must be worn no matter their origin.  
 
But there has to be a letting go. People have seasons too.
 
I'm consistently surprised by how long change can take.

It happens—sometimes despite me.
