I started this little ritual because I find the beans so beautiful.
Each time I open a new package I place two of the beans in the abalone shell
I found on T Bay, the beach I grew up on in Laguna.
I also have placed a Bay Leaf from Cynthia with them…
And for now, my turquoise long-life scarab.
As is often true with rituals., I don’t know where this is taking me,
but it brings me pleasure.
