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.
Should life's road lead you into peril, remember the wisdom of the Zen koan: there
may be a tiger behind; there may be a cliff ahead - ah, but the strawberries here are delicious!
It helps that green aventurine is known for good fortune! The gemstone pendant has a nice weight making
for nice drape when tied at any length.
Cost: $18.00 USD

The green aventurine pendant and satin cord are robust to heavy-handed tugging, but care
should be taken with the leather link which can be damaged with determined tugging. As with
all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
