Tana-baa-ta

WHO: everyone!
WHERE: the pasture
WHEN: day 22, all day

[the morning of day 22 begins with a light drizzle, as has been typical for the past few days. but despite the damp weather, a playlist of music also echoes across the pasture, luring you towards the center!]

[there, you will find that someone has planted a large bamboo tree, which is surrounded by wooden tables that are covered with colorful slips of paper and pens. a colorful sign, decorated with random doodles of stars, clouds, suns, and other fun shapes, contains a set of instructions:]

WELCOME TO TANABATA!

WRITE A WISH ON A PIECE OF PAPER AND TIE IT TO THE BAMBOO TREE.

HAVE FUN!


[the music and the bamboo wishing tree are a great start to the festival, but other people have been hard at work to make this a day to remember, right?]

[it's time to celebrate Tana-baa-ta!]

((FEEL FREE TO MAKE YOUR OWN TOP LEVELS IN THIS POST AS WELL! I made a few to get things going, but you should all run wild and free and thread to your heart's content ♥))

The quartz portion is so clear, too... That's a bit rare for one of these little soul-sampling stones, I'll have you know. Actually... Hold it up nearer to this light. Hmm. If you look closely...


...It appears almost as if the tourmaline is drawing all the inclusions within the stone inward, toward its core growth. An interesting visual effect.

A clear stone is one devoid of impurities. 'Impurities' IS a bit of a loaded word, of course... in a gem, it is a neutral term, referring to any elements contained in the stone that break from its most basic, underlying, mathematically perfect structure.

I'd say...

As the tourmaline clearly takes on the impurities within the quartz, calling them to itself, to create the stone's unusually unblemished quality...

...so, too, does this one. You're a hard worker, aren't you? Our most silent Rose.
