Shielded by Intuition
Armed with awareness
and shielded by intuition,
I push forward from the inside out.
Leaving who I was behind,
I venture out into who I am to become.
Shielded by Intuition is a textural, handwoven tapestry of white, cream, rust, and Bordeaux. The soft neutral fibers spiral around warm red jasper beads, known as the stone of endurance, grounding, and new beginnings.
