Rooted and Winged

Soft Unfolding

A little life can arrive so quietly that it seems less to begin than to gather itself into view. Still damp with earth and morning, it holds that brief, improbable balance between tenderness and form.

Then the shape declares itself: not a creature of leaf and rain, but a jewelled fly, its green-set wings spread lightly around a luminous pearl body. In this small Victorian brooch, rubies burn at the eyes and old rose-cut diamonds catch the light with a softer, duskier fire.
