is there anything that you pick up on a daily basis? what catches your eye that can be found in the streets or yards of your daily traverse?

me? i am drawn to the small rusted, flat circles of metal, be they crushed bottlecaps, old washers, or flattened spirals of thin wire. i have about 5 small glass jars of them at home...

what gets ya on the daily?

  • I have an inexpensive little statue of a laughing buddha; he's got a pack and a pike and seems to be travelling somewhere. He presides over a small candy dish in a corner of the living room, where I put small objects that I find; washers, nuts (both man-made and naturally occurring), marbles, pebbles, perhaps an occasional coin, and so forth.

    I'm not sure what this buddha icon originally means, but I consider it an homage to lucky travels.
