It's the Little Things

2007.02.05










It was cold today, wind chilling cold, cold to walk from place to place. Certainly not as cold as Fargo, North Dakota. So in comparison it was moderately cold.

I looked for those small items that reminded me that it's a small thing to be bothered by a wind chill when you had a warm place to go. So here's a collection of small objects—some , once part of something larger.

I placed the objects on black fleece, not noticing the small spots the fleece had attracted. But, the dots are like the cold—only moderately distracting.

photopoet Photo #1 Two bottles purchased for one dollar at the Brimfield Fair. One held perfume. Colgate, the company, created this scent in 1901. I've not been able to find out anything about the bottle with the raised letters.
Photo #2 A small silver salt spoon and an old handmade nail—both found in a yard sale.
Photo 4 & 5 rocks and fetish picked up while traveling
Photo #6 The brown rock is from Cretaceous sedimentary strata northeast of Pueblo, Colorado. Ages, according to the friend who hand-polished this rock and supplied the info, is about seventy millions years. the fetish was purchased in New Mexico.
Photo #8 Found when walking on Coast Guard Beach in Cape Cod
Photo #9 An artist crafted this small sculpture
Photo #10 This was my father's watch which was his father's watch. It still keeps time.

chipotle number eight looks like an egg purse. a small thing from which something ultimately larger emerged. maybe we all emerge from the small things that form and inform us.
