Obsidian is dense volcanic glass, black in color. Glass, volcanic or manmade, cools quickly from a molten liquid without forming crystals, the building blocks of the minerals making up most rocks. In nature, erupting a glass flow requires an unusually viscous magma, one that has both a high silicon dioxide (silica) content and a very low water content. When viscosity is high and heat loss is rapid, crystallization is inhibited.

Obsidian is rich in iron and magnesium. Tiny crystals of iron oxide give the obsidian its dark color. Different oxidation states of iron can tint the obsidian red, brown, or green. Obsidian is commonly banded or streaked, because the high viscosity of molten obsidian prevents impurities or bubbles from easily mixing with the surrounding magma.

Most obsidian is younger than 20 million years, because any obsidian older has changed from glass to crystalline rock. Over eons, the silica molecules within the glass slowly rearrange into organized crystal structures.

Native Americans, prized obsidian for arrowheads. Obsidian was traded hundreds of miles from its source.

The Oxford Dictionary defines the word grateful as “showing an appreciation of kindness.” This is where the difference lies; being thankful is a feeling, and being grateful is an action.  When I lived in Colorado, my friend Vicki taught me about being present with my gratitudes.

As word smiths we were able to write some pretty lines, lines that resonated with us to help us with ...

While we watched the sun rise, someone played the flute, ravens flew overhead.  What will you do to celebrate the sunshine and summer?  There will be a full moon during the summer solstice. Here is the question I have for you to think about, what were your intentions or plans in January? This full moon you may see your plans coming into fruition. Keep nurturing your manifestations.
