Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.

Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.

Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.

~Pueblo blessing

Peacock Colour

Dear Adele,
Two weeks ago Gene Simpson sent me a video of beautiful peacock splendor for some colour-joy just at moment when I needed cheering up. I immediately thought of sending it to you:

Last weekend I received another Peacock. My friend Jessica gave me this shawl along with a story. We don’t know the historic origins of this story so if anyone reading it does, please share it with us.
Once peacock feathers were symbols of bad-luck, the evil eye and all that. Then slowly, it came into fashion that some people would wear them to challenge luck – to show that they were not afraid of bad luck – to show that they could make their own luck.




I found lots of good peacock symbolism stories here:

I appreciate the wisdom of creating your own luck. 

Wishing you a colourful day.
Nicole
