Souvenirs

                     

Souvenirs…A butterfly that dared to leave the cocoon. A found button with an X that marked the spot. Stamps from another place and time. Music that stirred my soul, "Rize and Krump!" Past lives connecting with the present, like a dream becoming a reality. Unnoticed strings, like words that held me together and shaped new paths…where? who? why? I don’t remember each detail but they brought me a grand aroma of life that I can call my own!

Souvenirs; moments gathered, moments shared, may the new year unfold page after page in you!

  19. This reminds me of sorting through my mother’s button tin (actually there were 2-3 tins and a box or two collected from generation to generation). So much history and meaning in such tiny things.
