Examining the Shelf
Do you have a shelf? If so, what is on it?...
Discover your shelf.
Do you have a shelf? If so, what is on it? Do they remind you of loved ones or of things you've learned or done or places you've gone? How is it organized? Chronological? Favorite? Color? By balance? By feel? By subject? Did you build or pick out that shelf with care? Is it mounted strongly to a stud in a wall anchored to a piece of land that is yours or is it transient? Is it full or is there room for more? Are there dividers?
Is it somewhere that you notice it frequently? When is the last time you took something off of that shelf or replaced one thing with a new one? When is the last time it reminded you of a story and brought a smile to your face? When is the last time it reminded you to call a loved one?
Is there room for more? Is it sturdy enough? Has it moved a lot or been in the same place for a long time?
