Side note: YES (bitter sigh), there's still snow where I live. 😡
Sticks...IYAM, they're the OG vibrant things: they might be the prototype for imaginative utility.
Throughout history, whether its Westeros or a cave or or a Renaissance Fair or a battlefield or a campsite or a playground, haven't we humans felt compelled to pick up a random stick, instinct for kindling, hammer, cane, sword, horsie, dog-toy, wand, broomstick, back-scratcher, ski-pole, sad umbrella.
Woodn't you agree that a stick is rooted in meaning? (Sorry.)
I do see bare ground around that patch. Stick around a bit longer to see more.
ReplyDeleteWill do, sir.
DeleteAll seems well with the world when you have a good stick.
ReplyDeleteIt's true.
DeleteI've been known to pick up a short stick on a walk to use as a fidget toy.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteI have a grandson who loves sticks and has been picking them up for years. I like them for kindling.
ReplyDeleteClassic kid behaviour.
DeleteI found a stick like yours in the photo while walking on a beach. I still have it, it's been almost 8 years and it stands in a vase with a bunch of driftwood found through the yeaes.
ReplyDeleteClassic example.
Delete...you sill have snow???
ReplyDeleteSad, but true. It's disappearing fast but why did it take until May 5th?
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping my eyes open for the perfect stick to use as a wand while practising my witchy ways. Woo Woo. -Kate
ReplyDeleteAs you wish and as you should. Insert fist bump here.
