Wedding Rings Stuart Cathey Jewelry Neptune Beach Florida
"All we have to do is to decide what to do with the time that is given us." Wizard Gandalf speaking to Frodo in Lord of the Rings."
Stuart Cathey is Lord of the Rings. He designs classic and unique pieces of jewelry. Works of art. He even has a specially designed ring that is waiting for a wizard. Not for sale, but for his collection. Stuart has decided what to do with the time given him. He has a gift and uses that gift to the delight, happiness and gratitude of his clients, family and friends. Stuart puts love, imagination and caring into his bespoke jewelry..
Stuart's work ethic is in sharp contrast to so many who take power in the world these days. Many have lost the gift of love and service in their life, profession and personal story. So often we see an obsessive drive for position, money and power. A drive that too often becomes a stampede to win the race. Unfortunately it is the rat race that many are running. Stuart seems to have a fabulous balance of fine work, self appreciation and service to his clients.
In the movie, Frodo regrets that the ring of power has come to him. He regrets being chosen to carry it. Power can be weighty. It carries responsibility. Like Frodo, many do not want the responsibility that their gifts and power bring. Others become obsessed with power and talent. Like the ring in the movie, obsession only harms, it does not give life. That's why Frodo was chosen to safeguard the ring. He had the purity of spirit to not become obsessed with the power that the ring brought to him.
Gandalf also realizes over time that it is not great power that ultimately resists evil, but the simple acts of ordinary people day in and day out. Simple acts of kindness, love, honesty, forgiveness, creativity, acceptance, effort, grace and gratitude. Simple acts of service in work and career. Holding power in a world of greed and shadows is remarkable indeed. Simply speaking one's mind today can be a frightening and sometimes dangerous thing to do. Repression and tyranny are afoot. Truth of any kind is often crushed.
Stuart is one example of someone putting great love and craftsmanship into the work that he does. One does not need to be in a political battle or on a podium to contribute to the furtherance of a healthy world. Following one's inner truth, wherever it leads contributes to preserving a world of freedom and beauty. Everyone has a different part to play in life's movie. Everyone counts.
Carry the ring of power. Follow your inner truth. Be bold, brave and self supporting on your life's path. Believe in yourself and realize that to love, to speak truth and to care about what you do is to vanquish evil.
