...this little light of mine

...i'm gonna let it shine

oh,

i'm gonna let it shine.

...

I have been meditating on the continual tragedy in Japan.

I can NOT fathom the anguish and heartbreak,

this country is going through right now.

my heart is crying out to do something...

...something more than positive energy being sent out into the universe.

...something more than a whispered prayer.

...something more than a cash donation.

i have done all three...

no,

i feel lead to do more.

to put this helpless sorrow

into a positive action.

if i may,

quote the words to a Jewel song

that has filled my heart,

flooded my soul...

~

If I could tell the world just one thing

It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these

I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear

My hands are small,
 I know.
But they're my own.


...with these small hands,
i have created a special collection of lace butterflies
to represent renewed hope for Japan.

each one made by hand.

each one uniquely it's own.

each one carries a different message.

 
they will be available in my etsy shop
 until each and everyone one of them has fluttered away.

100% of all proceeds made from these winged creatures
 will be donated to the red cross for Japan...
it may not be much
but it is what these hands can do.
 
that,
 
and
 
i will get down on my knees
and i will pray...
 


...in the end
only kindness matters...
