Time is money. Money is time.
So, I keep seven o'clock in the bank and gain interest in the hour of God. I'm saving to buy my freedom. God grant me wings.
I'm too fly not to fly. Eye sore to look at humans without wings.
So, I soar. And find tickle in the feather of my wings. Flying hysterically over land. Numerically, I am seven mountains higher than the valley of death, seven dimensions deeper than dimensions of breath.

And that there is something to be said for living outside of value, for acknowledging the absolute violence of value, of being party to a system in which one either has value or is devalued and consequently must make all sorts of diabolical concessions, alignments, and, ultimately, misalignments, in order to stay on the positive end of that scale.

Jewish Bridal Jewelry in Djerba
"Jewish brides on the island of Djerba were covered from head to toe in multiple layers of jewelry, creating a dazzling effect. The headgear (kufiya), composed of gold disks resembling coins, identified them as married women and distinguished them from their Muslim neighbors. The kufiya was part of the women's trousseau and was considered their own property, and they could use the gold disks in times of personal distress.|||The jewelry is typically adorned with motifs of barley seeds, fish, birds, and hamsas, believed to ensure the women’s fertility and ward off the evil eye; especially prominent is the crescent – a symbol of strength and renewal – whose two horns are attributed with the power to strike the evil eye."
