Life, the Sculptor, Moulds Unceasingly Perfume Oil
$27.00
E’en as the sculptor chisels patiently
The marble’s jagged edges, day by day,
Striving to smooth all blemishes away,
Till-when from ev’ry flaw the stone is free,
And naught save perfect contours does he see-
Embodied harmony and beauty may
Atone for all the weary hours’ delay,-
So Life, the sculptor, moulds unceasingly
The soul of man. How often in recoil
The spirit shrinks, nor can through prescience know
Of coming grace and majesty. ‘Tis willed
The scars should deeper be, until the toil
And chiseling are adequate; when lo!
God’s all-unfathomed plan is quite fulfilled.
– Henrietta Cordelia Ray
Lilith has always loved sculpting, but it wasn’t until the shelter in place that she really dove into it.
Not a scent of clay, but of creation: white sandalwood, tulsi, and Mitti attar.
(The sleepmask was a gift from her dad, and it’s so 2020 Appropriate.)

Suffragium Perfume Oil
Out of StockWhen Lilith was three months old, she came with me to the voting booth for the first time. She wore a Little Democrat onesie and a Babies For Obama button, and it was one of the most emotional nights of my life. I know I’ve told this story before, but as the election results rolled in, I wept with relief because Lilith was going to grow up safe. Decency won the day, and my heart was alight with the belief that we were on an upwards trajectory as a nation, and that compassion and hope were leading us to a renewal.
November 8, 2016 was another emotional night for very, very different reasons.
Since that day, the world has gotten darker, but the darkness creates strength and fosters empathy. Lilith is now learning what social justice truly means. She has participated in protests, demonstrations, volunteer campaigns, and walk-outs. She has made protest signs with her own two hands, and has marched against the cruelty, oppression, and tyranny of this current administration. She’s beginning to grasp both civic responsibility and civil disobedience, and she’s learning how much power her voice really has. This is a scent of renewing hope, determination, fortitude, and compassion: palo santo, white sandalwood, sweet labdanum, and cedar.
