it's the seven beads. Seven black and white and then the one blood bead. Here, thread beads from Jude. In the past, for so many years, seed beads and the African blood bead.

An Unknowable Order that just is.
a symbol of the source of all things out of which everything arises and into which everything resolves.
Un knowable. Just is. Some kind of natural order of the Universe and maybe more.
just
How Things Are.
