Inscription description

inner edge of ring: Rest a while, take the weight / think about what makes you smile / Listen how still you are / imagine a warm fire / Enquire about the person next to you / Share a drink or some good news / Tell each other stories / perform them on the floor. / Explore and surprise, / search for a clearer view, / Look into another’s eyes, / find something beautiful.
