Painted neatly on a 4 inch square canvas, it made a profound statement. In the center sat the universe, painted as though one was looking at it from above. It was surrounded by the female symbol in gold and at the top off to a jaunty angle was a large diamond in a solitaire setting. It gave the appearance of having three layers but seamlessly being one unified symbol. Plain flat gray surrounded the image. So telling. I burst out laughing. First at the truth and wisdom of it's message, and second at it's creator in the midst of mad wedding planning.
And I wonder to myself: just how many woman have their entire universe defined by their marriage?
And then I wonder to myself: how many of 'those' women know that wedding rings were once a symbol of ownership. Yes ownership. Wow.
