Wild Silk Cocoons
The wild silk cocoons of Madagascar and the wild silk cocoons of India. Both in the center of a grid with Ametrine. The cocoons represent the wild harvesting of silk without killing the silk worm. Granted the silk pupae might be eaten as protein in protein starved areas in Madagascar, The smaller Cricula cocoon comes from India. Aurora Silks in Portland has peace silk and natural dyes. All of this is the start of a new silk thread.

Journey for the bees
Bees seem to be speaking. I journey for the bees, in support of the bees. The buzzing of the mbira reminds me of the bees.
The song Nyuchi on mbira is a mavembe song played by the Chigamba’s for the bees. I learned it in part from Rosalie and in part from Erica. The song was reportedly a favorite of Tute’s late wife.
I’ll play for the bees. Watch for a Nyuchi post under mbira.
