this afternoon, a young woman whom i like very much was excited to report that she and her husband have ordered non-conflict diamonds. they felt they could no longer wear the diamonds they had given each other in marriage, and exchanging them for conflict diamonds would solve conflicting emotions : cherishing the stones themselves, and feeling comfort in the love they symbolized. blood diamonds couldn't do that for them.
i have decided to become a diamond. hopefully this won't happen any time soon, but that is my decision. in fact, i think i will be several diamonds instead of just one:

imagine that. you can be diamonds, too. for some, the act of returning bones or ashes to the earth is a deep and perfect way to rest in peace and leave a memory of you marked over muddy earth, deep snow, or green grass. for me, the idea of turning the last of me into something that will sparkle on someone's hand or wrist makes me smile. several diamonds - one for each and all of the many loves of my life. could be expensive, however.
if you love me, sign up now.
