"Worrying is like paying a debt you don't owe"

The most remarkable thing about this favorite quote of mine is the simplicity and truth behind it. We worry almost constantly and there's nothing in this world saying that we have to. It doesn't change anything or fix the problem, but we do it anyway. We constantly pull from our bank of emotions and hormones to pay for this debt that doesn't exist.
A few years ago, I started manually machining various types of Worry Coins. They vary in metals, woods and sizes. Last year I had the idea that I'd laser engrave this quote into a coin but it was missing something and made these hand made coins even more expensive. I really wanted to be able to offer a more affordable version of a Worry Coin with this quote but, at the time, was not aware of Shire Post Mint's ability to create a concave surface on one side, so I shelved the project. A few months later, I saw what they could do with a coin so reached out to my favorite designer, Mike Major, and got to work. I couldn't be happier with the result. The size, weight, design and cost are the perfect balance and I'm sure you will enjoy.

Why a Mandala? When linked to gratitude, mandalas remind us that everything is connected, life is impermanent yet beautiful, and that balance and harmony are worth cherishing.
Around 30 years ago my fascination with mandalas began when I saw a video of a monk creating a sand mandala. The precision, patience and time involved only to then wipe it away sits with me to this day.

Watch the video for a tutorial on Box Breathing...pretty simple.
Inhale for 4-6 seconds, hold for 4-6 seconds, exhale for 4-6 seconds and hold for 4-6 seconds. I recommend starting with 4 second intervals.

A series inspired by Musashi's Book of Five Rings
from the Book of Water:
“If you do not look at things on a large scale, it will be difficult to master strategy.”
This speaks to the importance of perspective — not just in combat, but in life, craft, and business. Musashi reminds us that seeing only the immediate or the small picture limits our understanding. Mastery comes from stepping back, seeing the patterns, and thinking beyond the moment. It's about developing the vision to anticipate, adapt, and respond with clarity.
from the Book of Earth:
" From one thing, know ten thousand things." is a distilled interpretation of a central idea from The Book of Five Rings (Go Rin no Sho), specifically from the “Earth Book” (地の巻, Chi no Maki), which is the first and foundational scroll.
In that section, Musashi lays out the principle that mastery in one domain (such as swordsmanship) can teach you the universal truths that apply to all arts and strategies.
from the Book of Fire:
"When you attack, do so with a full and unhesitating spirit."
In the Fire Scroll, Musashi teaches that true strategy demands not only skill, but total commitment. This quote is a call to act with boldness — to strike with clarity, decisiveness, and conviction. In combat, hesitation breeds defeat; in life, it dulls the edge of purpose. Whether wielding a sword or making a choice, the principle remains: once the moment to act arrives, there must be no doubt, no delay — only presence and power. Fire moves forward. So must you.
from the Book of Wind:
"Fixation is the way to death. Fluidity is the way to life." — Book of Wind
In the Wind Scroll, Musashi warns against rigidity, whether in combat, thought, or daily life. To cling too tightly to form, style, or expectation is to stagnate. Like air and clouds, the warrior must move freely, adapting to the shifting rhythm of the world. This teaching is not only about survival in battle, but about vitality in living — to flow rather than to cling, to breathe rather than to choke. Life belongs to those who remain fluid.

Memento mori (for 'remember that you [have to] die') is an artistic or symbolic trope acting as a reminder of the inevitability of death.
The Stoics of classical antiquity were particularly prominent in their use of this discipline, and Seneca's letters are full of injunctions to meditate on death. The Stoic Epictetus told his students that when kissing their child, brother, or friend, they should remind themselves that they are mortal, curbing their pleasure, as do "those who stand behind men in their triumphs and remind them that they are mortal". The Stoic, Marcus Aurelius, invited the reader (himself) to "consider how ephemeral and mean all mortal things are" in his Meditations.

It's that time of year!!! Almost...trying to get a head start.
Every top is a One of a Kind!
I'm doing this a little different this year and going forward. I'm limiting the amount available and "sculpting" each top. I love to think of these as little treasures that you're buying for yourself or a loved one that will carry through the years. For that reason, I want to spend a good amount of time on each and so limiting the number available and sizes.
Each top is machined, filed, sanded and shaped to perfection (as perfect as I can get by hand anyway). It's then finished and sealed with a metal oil.
Machined by hand from solid metals and material varieties.
Tops shown are NOT what you will be receiving...just giving you an idea.
Limited to 100 this year!
You may purchase as many as you like until sold out for the season.
