jolly july #3: the one about the rings II
July 10, 2009
rasanya tak keterlaluan saya menulis blog kedua saya pada hari yang sama. jarak 10 hari antara blog:ofkos ada lagi nak diomelkan.
terasa lega hati. saya kembali memakai cincin-cincin saya. terasa menyesal saya bertindak menanggalkan mereka sebelum ini. terasa lain dan kosong. baru-baru ini saya renung mereka dan berfikir ” kamu berada bersama ketika susah dan senang. kenapa aku perlu korbankan sesuatu yang pasti untuk sesuatu yang tak pasti?”. maaf.
bercakap mengenai cincin, ingin saya kepilkan kisah tradisi satu kampung di Ireland yang coretkan oleh Kak Ila dalam Facebook. (Dia sekarang bekerja di Sligo, Ireland):
Jolly July #3 :The Claddagh ring
claddagh ring
The Claddagh’s distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown). The expression which was associated with these symbols in the giving of the ring was: “With my two hands I give you my heart, and crown it with my love.” Yet, the expression, “Let love and friendship reign forever” can be found as another meaning for the symbols.
The way that a Claddagh ring is worn on the hand is usually intended to convey the wearer’s romantic availability, or lack thereof. The ring is worn on the right hand with the heart facing outward to show that the wearer is not romantically linked but is looking for love. When turned inwards, it is shown that the wearer is in a relationship, or their heart has been “captured”. The ring worn on the left hand with the heart facing outward shows the wearer is engaged; turned inward indicates the wearer is married.
mungkin ada sebab Kak Ila tag saya dan saya gembira dia berbuat demikian. kerana sekarang saya boleh pesan cincin tersebut dari dia dan harap-harap boleh dipakai untuk 27th on the 27th.
tak sabar. julai oh julai.
