Abstract Grasping

by julia-aubrey-rhodes

what if we could grasp things in our hands..? I don't mean plain, concrete items, I mean what if we could grasp the memories, the changing of the seasons, and the people we love into one little item? how long could we contain it inside such a microscopic view of abstract morals and views? how about that titian leaf lying around in the pile near your door? go and pick it up. what do you feel, hear, smell, see, perhaps even taste in the moment? I think that in that moment when our minds have come to a conclusive point about the values grasped into something so simple, we can hold it. (j.a.r.)
