In dreams, I've seen tourmaline, a magnetic stone.
Black can root you, pink stun your heart.
A woman alone in the snow, below freezing
eats ptarmigan, befriends foxes.
I cannot weep or sleep.
I am bruised, cursed,
like a wounded rock dove.
Some have no love for this bird.
Some have no love for the words that injured it.
Green tourmaline means
to boost courage, strength.
it's not lust for power,
but justice you want,
a desire to hold everything together,
to tell the truth.
Capsize your canoe.
Relieve worry, create a feeling of calm.
Sunlit, surface, float like a feather.
Drowning in brown tourmaline
is impossible.
You cannot kill a stone.
水の石の夢 (mizu no ishi no yume)
water's stone dream
What dream are you?
Multicolored, rare?
I'm betting on blue
because within you
lies an open mind.
So I chose
blue tourmaline,
as large as your life.
