Collectors

written on May 2, 2018

“I will pick the ones that pick me, they will call me and I’ll know” The 8 year old was talking about crystals in a crystal store. I looked at her lovingly and asked her to believe that forever. I am no collector of any sorts but I do remember collecting stickers as a 6 year old. I treasured those stickers and hid them in between the pages of an old dusty notebook with coffee coloured pages. I’d also collect rocks, seashells and candy wrappers.
Today I collect, well now and then, candles, rings and fragrances or incense sticks. Guess I am a collector after all. Come to think of it, we all are. Some may collect books, others- earrings, or shoes, or cars, or flowers, skirts, stories, quotes, poems, pictures, memories, sensations, feelings, lessons…

Some things we collect get lost or get old. Some things that we collect, are pretty much forever.
