I was so very blessed to have had this amazing creature in my life for nearly 15 years. I can't begin to describe this gratitude.
And so it happened as I thought it might... I woke up one morning and wanted to make a mala. My dear friend Joseph Anthony (find him here on Twitter, and watch his beautiful kirtan videos, so full of devotion) had requested two custom malas. He was so blessedly patient and supportive as I went through this process of grieving and healing. And then, one day, I felt ready to create and this is what came into being.

Thank you Kajal for sharing this lovely post, and for the kind mention. I love being a part of the healing. I love that you honored yourself enough to grieve, to take the time to be with your feelings. The image of the beads rivering through your fingers as a part of your healing brings me great joy. All the devotion you have woven into these malas, all of the tears for your beloved Pooch that you strung into them, every note you sang that you knotted into them are all infused into their beauty. So thank you for choosing to make them, for your thoughtful care and guidance in picking the colors and the stones, the styles and the sizes--you were patient with me as well. I love having a pocket mala and one full mala. They are coming at the perfect time. My own devotions have been calling your malas since we met on Twitter, and they are much needed right now. I am so looking forward to making them a part of my longing, my gratitude, my kirtans, my praise, my hopes and dreams, my meditations on the Heart of Hearts. Blessings on your continued healing and your journey with grief. Blessings on your journey into making more malas. I wish you all joy and success, happiness and prosperity--in all ways. Peace and Light, Joseph
