Only at the lowest, one can see the highest point of the peak ahead in a way that cannot be ignored; and only at the highest can one stand to look freely into the abyss that always waits quietly. Such is the shape of things that have been here long before everything and will stay long after.

 To the land that needs nothing and no one, one comes to learn the nature of life only so they can learn their true place in it.

 More than a test of perseverance to see what one's made of, it is a blessing and a remnant of the truth of how Allah ﷺ surrounds his beloved in ways that can grow fruits of joy out of the cracks that seem barren and hope out of thin air that chooses its champions.

The Valley of Stones capsule serves as a reminder of everything green and clay tones between days with heat that humbles and nights as cold as the face that knows no mercy, living, holding close to the heart the truth that what doesn’t kill makes one stronger.

 The Valley of Stones capsule available December 13th 2024 online and in the physical boutique.
