Perfect Moment - Navigational Aid for the Spirit



Inuk - Shuk Wooden Box and Jade Pin from Canada

Inuk-Shuks are stone figures built to resemble humans. Inuk-Shuks (Inuit word meaning "In the image of man") can be found along Canada's Northern Shores. Originally built as navigational landmarks and to aid in caribou hunting, today they are a symbol of respect for the land and the people of the North.



Thanks for Giving Recipe for a Perfect Moment

1. Take one blue and out of sorts 47 y/o female.
2. Add the poignancy of the Thanksgiving holiday and anniversary of my brother's death.
3. Routinely check the mail on Friday, a white package awaits!
4. Open package with beautiful Inuk-Shuk wooden box and jade pin from the incredibly kind, thoughtful Mrs.Spit.
5. Perfect Moment arises, enfolds, and embraces me.
6. Express my gratitude and appreciation for the gift of friendship and caring.
They are treasured.

Recipe notes: I would like to acknowledge the persuasive power of See's Chocolates in facilitating this perfect moment. Please note that my beautiful new jade pin is pointing Northeast towards Mr.and Mrs.Spit's home.

Oh, what a moment! That is a beautiful gift, and I'm glad Mrs Spit helped soothe your spirit this past week.

I want to tip my hat to your brother, too. And spend a moment acknowledging him.

Now. Please pass the See's.

That was such a wonderful and thoughtful gift from your friend. I hope you and your family had a nice Thanksgiving, and I'm sorry you're missing your brother.

All beautiful things live in memory. Perhaps that's one of the many things inukshuk's point us to.

Glad I could make you smile.
