💎 A sense of relief after the long weekend. A 'free' day is perfect for natural stones ♬
Golden Week has come to an end.
Some people went out,
while others spent time relaxing at home...
I feel like I have to go somewhere during a long weekend,
so I feel a bit restless.
But now that Golden Week is over,
it's a relief to have a free day, isn't it?
You don't have to accommodate anyone.
You don't have to do anything.
But on the other hand,
'Is it okay to just let the day end like this...?'
I sometimes feel a little anxious.
On days like that, I, the idle Maru, play with natural stones!
Yes,
something I've written about before:
'Bracelet making'.
Laying out stones with a clear mind, combining them, connecting them,
rearranging them, reconnecting them,
and before I know it, time has passed...
But when I put on the bracelet I spent so much time making...
this is the best part!
And strangely enough,
the stones I'm drawn to change from time to time.
I, the idle Maru, have been
diligently collecting natural stones for over 10 years, but
looking back...
《Idle Maru's Natural Stone History》
I had an AI analyze it!
In the image, from the left...
Kyanite
→ A time when I wanted to cut off hesitation.
A period when I wanted to regain my own center.
Kunzite
→ A time when I wanted to heal my wounded feelings
and remember kindness.
Oregon Sunstone
→ A time when I wanted to be confident, step forward, and shine.
Strawberry Quartz from Kazakhstan
→ A time when I was seeking excitement, joy,
and warm connections with people.
Aquamarine
→ A time when I didn't want to bottle up my feelings, but wanted to let them flow naturally.
Chrysocolla
→ A time when I wanted deep peace of mind and wanted to accept myself without pushing too hard.
And now...
Larimar
Peace of mind. I want to live naturally and calmly.
In summary, it seems to be a transition from 'organizing → healing → shining → sharing → finding peace'.
Indeed, I feel like it links up with my life over the past ten years or so...
Even though I was just choosing stones I liked, looking back, there might have been a real meaning to it. Yeah, days spent at home aren't bad either. Even without going out, it became a time to notice the changes in my own heart.
It's okay to have slow days ♬ Taking it easy is a perfectly valid plan.
On days like that, maybe it's good to touch the things you love just a little bit!

Charoite, Larimar, and Sugilite.
Apparently, there is a legend that 'wearing seven colors wards off evil.'
It looks kind of delicious.
It also includes a small magatama. It has an Izumo vibe.
I wear it often because it's easy to match.
