    … have differing purposes and values … in the photo above there is a juvenile bald eagle perched on a rock in Lake Pleasant waiting for a fish to come by … this rock is serving a purpose of providing a perch for the eagle to find his food.

    In the photo below a laser ruby is on a dop and being faceted for a beautiful piece of jewelry I am making for a friend. And a beautiful piece it will be too … 16.2 mm in diameter and the cut is a variant on the round brilliant cut which is much more brilliant than the standard cut. The standard cut has 57 facets where this one has 73 facets. If all goes as planned I will have the stone finished by Wednesday and will send a photo of it out then. The stone is just coming off a 1200 grit sintered lap, next up 3000 grit and then to the polish lap. After the pavilion is finished (bottom of the stone) using a transfer device the stone is held by the pavilion and the crown is faceted.

    Two of my favorite things; gem cutting and photography … doing what you love, good friends and family and a modicum of health … life just doesn’t get any better … how you view your life and what you do is entirely up to you … only you can make it great! A moment at a time.

    Starting another new week and it is wide open to be one of the best weeks ever … keep smiling, keep breathing and always have a smile handy.

    Cheers,

    “O God, I love Thy world!”
    And since that waking, often I drink deep
    The joy of dawn, and peace abides with me;
    And though I know that I again will see
    Dark fear with withered hand approach my sleep,
    More sure am I when lonely night shall flee,
    At dawn the sun will bring good cheer to me.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
