Simple Things

What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

When I was a kid my stepdad had a bumper sticker that read, “He who dies with the most toys wins.”

I abhorred that damn bumper sticker.

I wanted to be different.

The plant shown in this photo may be my most cherished belonging. It symbolizes many things. Four years ago it was a mere bump on a log. I nurtured it and it has since flourished.
