Inspiration:
A woman was hiking in the mountains and came upon an injured rattlesnake. She scooped it up and carried it miles back to her home. For weeks the woman nursed the snake back to health and showed it endless love and compassion. When the snake was fully recovered the woman hiked the snake back up to the mountain and placed it softly upon the earth. As she turned to walk away the snake rattled, coiled and struck her on her leg. As she lay there in pain, venom coursing through her veins she looked to the snake and simply said "why?" It looked to her and with one breath spoke, "you knew what I was when you picked me up."

I remember hearing this story from an elder when I was in the fourth grade, it has stuck with my my whole life and is the inspiration behind this bracelet. I wear mine everyday to remind myself to make my decisions consciously.
