Quote:"All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography". Federico Fellini The Taos Indian crafted jewel, A necklace strung with jade and some other gems. Looked so pretty to me, I bought it on the spot, Presented it to my wife, which she never wore in her life. Once I asked her, why don’t you wear that necklace? You would look pretty in it and would arouse some romance. She looked at me and asked, have you ever judged jewelry? Whoever wears green stone jewelry, I would rather buy a pearl necklace. What is so special about pearl necklaces? Pearl harvesters find only in one percent of oysters, Its layers of sand, glued in oyster’s glands, Still women love the bright white lustier of beady pearls. She is gone for many years, the jade necklace I keep in my heart, It’s not the value of jewelry, it is what it is sentimentally worth, She wore pearl and other jewelries, and tried to look her best, If she had worn my gift necklace, she would have looked her best. Now I adore her picture on the wall, With the jewelry she did not like at all, To me she looks the prettiest doll, Wearing this precious jade jewel crafted by love.

This is a poem from your heart. It has power, as I detect disappointment. Accepting gifts is more difficult than giving. Intent of the giver is a gift. Poem is a good reminder for me, too.
