Metal is the elemental salt of the earth, the crystalline clarity of a jewel, the long-lasting richness of life, it contains our gift that we can offer to the world, our inner treasures, the permanence of beauty. The metal element is about astonishment, amazement, appreciation, it is the connection with the Father, with heaven.

-Dianne M. Connelly-

It is said that the first breath contains the spirit of heaven. Through the breath we are in exchange with the universe.
