Silver Bracelet "Serenity Prayer"

"God grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change; the COURAGE to change the things I can; and the WISDOM to know the difference"

The authorship of these words of wisdom, encouragement and inspiration is much disputed, though it is generally accredited to the American theologian Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr, perhaps in 1932. However, there is no shortage of other claimants, from the ancient Roman, Cicero, anonymous medieval English poets, saints, Sanskrit texts, or the German, Friedrich Oetinger in the eighteenth century. What is clear however, is that these humble lines have given comfort to many in need of guidance. The wide range of claims to ownership merely reinforcing the universality of its message.

This much loved prayer has been finely engraved onto a bracelet with unusual properties. This geometric form represents the seeming paradox of a plane without end, or one of infinite length. As such, it became accepted as the symbol for infinity, and is appropriate and symbolic form for this profoundly affecting prayer.
