Description from Early Peanut: A friend of mine recently enlisted as a Navy SEAL, and I pray daily for his safety and well-being. This is the design for a string of prayer beads I'm making for this purpose, dedicated to Poseidon, god of the sea, who is said to be the protector of seafarers. Horses are sacred to him.
Good luck, Kurt! I miss you!
