“But what deeply troubles me now is that for all the steps we've taken toward integration, I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house." 

Dr. King said this famous quote on March 27th, 1968, mere days before his murder. But the context around the quote is interesting...

Japanese style painting of plum tree and blossom, framed with Japanese text on the sides.

I think I’ve posted Vincent van Gogh's 1887 'Japonaiserie Flowering Plum Tree’ before but worth another outing right now.

A translucent, oval-shaped object made of rock crystal with a hollow center, intersected horizontally by a metal rod, displayed against a dark background.

FindsFriday! In rich graves of southwest Germany's early #medieval period, rock crystal objects such as belt buckles are frequently discovered.
Rock crystal was believed to possess healing and protective properties, and was also used for magical purposes.🧵 1/2

Two pendants made from slices of amethyst crystals, set on a block of California walnut. The larger pendant is hung from a rope chain and the smaller one is hung from a long oval paper clip style chain.

Top view of my table that has a vintage Art in America magazine with a wood bowl on top of it. There’s also a vintage square ceramic plate that has a handmade basket on top of it (basket holds my assorted coasters), a ceramic bowl by Sunja Park decorated with abstract green and yellow splotches, and a vintage Arabia vase with a bunch of red double petal tulips inside of it

These are the amethyst crystal slices before they were set. The ones set in first pic are the large one in the back of the photo and the smaller one on the far right side. They’re stunningly beautiful - especially when set on 14K yellow gold :)

Side view of my table with vintage green Arabia pot in the front holding the red tulips along with the ceramics, basket, and wood bowl
