old world meets new world

i found this today while burying the remains of my beloved old blog.

6.01.2004
for 4 days i have had a running blog going on and no outlet.

i had a dream last night that i was in egypt.
there were hills of sand and little stones and rocks
of course i was picking them up and in awe of how gorgeous the sparkly ones were
quartz and some other very shiny clean ones.
i had them all in my hand when i noticed this dull sort of peacock colored rock.
it had no shine to it but i was interested in the color.
i pulled it out of the sand and realized that it was actually a sapphire but it wasn't already polished or sparkly like the others.
i put it in my pocket knowing it was going to be a bit more work but much more worth it.
i left the shiny ones in the sand.
