SISTERS COLLECTION
Sisters Collection jewelry and small wall pieces in glass and mixed media come with a signed copy of the poem "The Sisters Are Everywhere" (Worth Cooley-Prost, 1997).

The Sisters Are Everywhere

The sisters are everywhere,
Yours, mine
Scattered across the earth

like the deepest lines on the face of God,
a tumbling joyous river of laughter
an infinity of tears

So how do you find them?
You look at their children and see your child
You look in their eyes and see your eyes,
        looking at yourself
And in the mirror also,
       their eyes looking back out of your own.

So when you find one -- then what?
        Do this: touch the tips of the fingers
          of your two hands together
              lightly, like a careful prayer.

The fingers know the same things:
       bread in all stages        stone        skin        water
       glass, whole or broken and hair
They know how to hold a feather, a fire
       and a knife. And they know sand from salt.

So touch your fingers together now,
       on your own two hands,
       just like a prayer

Really, do it -- See,
       there she is / you are / I am:
                            One of the sisters.

Worth Cooley-Prost, 1997
