People are more important than things and feelings between people are the most important of all but the danger is that when the people are gone, only the things remain.
This is nostalgia and I'm not a nostalgic person.
And yet the things about me each carry a memory. For example, in the collage at the end of this post, the little bird in a garden is all that's left of perhaps the most important girl in my life. She's still here but not the same person.
One either loved or loathed Roy Orbison but in the track Bono penned for him below: "She's a Mystery to Me", there are many personal things, many images, many memories, glad and sad.
Looking at the woman's visage, it's not surprising to me the memories were mostly sad and yet piquant at the same time.
Will you make a collage of your most important things and post it on your site? Will you include your favourite musical track? I'd like the pragmatic, the gruff, the unnostalgic to post these things as well - to give us an insight into who you are.
Collage of some of my personal things
Now that will take me some time... I have so many things with memories! I guess I am too nostalgic, but thankfully in a positive way :-)
ReplyDeleteWatch this space or rather watch my space!
Great pics, James, and a nice idea.

ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish we were all in the same time zone xx
ReplyDeleteI am so stealing that idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do it now! :)
Lovely post James and we will do it, both for you but also for ourselves.
ReplyDeleteSo many of my things are important to me, not in monetary value, but because they are from someone important in my life. It might be hard to choose just a few.
I was thinking when i saw this what is precious to me and holds memories.....i dont want to think but i now have to get this out of my head...Great idea James.
