Who was Cassandra?
In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
Woohoo! I love this one, as I have all of your "stones." This one in particular seems an apt conclusion.

A beautiful end to a month of beautifully crafted small word-pictures and still-life paintings. I've absolutely loved finding these every day.
