sobriety gifts

I bought these for a Christmas gift, but am sooo tempted to keep it because it is so beautiful! The colors melt into each other when the wind hits them, and they make a beautiful sound! I find some wind chimes annoying, but these aren't like that! They are pleasing to the eye, AS WELL AS the ear! I highly recommend!

I have been intrigued by the crying Buddha for years. I sometimes struggle with depression and the crying Buddha makes me feel less alone. I bought both the small and larger carving because I didn't know how they would "feel". I want to offer comfort to the Buddha and I didn't know what that would look like. Would I want to hold it in my hand or would I want to stroke his back? Turns out, I want to do both. I brought the smaller carving to work and I have the larger statue on my grandmother's desk. I rub the larger statue's back every time I walk into my living room. I offer the Buddha my comfort and he offers me his. I hold the smaller carving in my hand when I'm at work. The smooth contours of the carving beg to be touched. I'm so happy with both of them. They are beautiful.

This is an amazing piece. I love the delicate painting and the rich colors. Such attention to detail! Feel so lucky to have it. Thank you Gung Gus!
