eye candy

in this crazy, busy, full-of- activities, demanding, stressful phase of my life --- i found a refuge in the world of colorful beads.

my sister ivy bought her jewelry making kit late last year. i envied her having time to work on creative stuff. i wished i'd be able to make jewelry pieces too. but i didn't have the luxury of time. or so i thought.

conditions at work made me so desperate for an outlet to release stress. so two weeks ago, i have decided that i will engage myself in this creative activity. i chose to make earrings because i think they are the easiest things to make. and having been born in the "instant" generation, earrings proved to be instant gratification.

i am now basking myself in universe of colors. i find the spontaneity of the process liberating. no rigorous application of syntax and logic. colors have an unconditioned way of complementing each other. no matter if the colors seem to belong an unlikely crowd, when they are put next to each other, they just fit.

God is very wise. He said in this Word:

Ecclesiastes 3
1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven

i am learning to toil and then unwind.
