The relatives said do you want it?
Asking a writer if he wants a Mont Blanc Meisterstück
is like asking God if he so loves the world.
For years now I have sisyphused each day with
my dead father-in-law’s pen above my heart.
Those mired in the relative world no doubt view it pagan
but I think carrying this black precious resin causes
the sum total of sadness in this life to be a little less
than it would have been otherwise, I really do.
Totems like this anchor us, make us less boring, and
challenge us to commit truly great acts of love while there’s still time.
seek and you shall find
old beautiful

John, you always amaze me – you capture the heart with unexpected and stunning life – you create such beauty.

Thanks for stopping by, Ken.
Wonderful. I agree whole-heartedly. Mine is a well worn and lived in Waterman Charleston. It makes me feel less boring.
Heather, less boring is always good, always. Have a wonderful day!
You pen beauty, and capture the tender, fragile on a page. Always.
Elizabeth, thank you very much for your words.
Breathing in as I come here. Always leave refreshed. Thank you. (I was given a Waterman when I retired – but my fingers don’t work round a pen anymore. Thankfully, they do work on this keyboard.)
