In the Zen story A Parable, a man flees from a tiger by grabbing a vine and jumping over a precipice only to be confronted with another tiger below him, also waiting to eat him. As he considers the tiger above and the tiger below, he spots a strawberry growing on the vine - how sweet it tasted! The analogy of strawberry:tiger::life:death refers to the sweetness of the moment, of life in the face of our certain demise. This adjustable length necklace of satin cord features a landscape stone coin pendant with the analogy on a periwinkle watercolor design. The stone pendant is approximately 1" and the sliding clasp enables length adjustment up to 30." Landscape stone is a type of limestone with earth-tone banding that resembles a painted desert landscape.

Cost: $28.00 USD
