artifact ( it doesn't always end happily)

drinking coffee
from the mug
you left behind
accidentally
though i choose to believe
intentionally

in lieu of having 
there is the holding

  2. oh i love this! the idea of leaving something behind, so you must come back. or sounds like in this case, as a reminder or memento. who drinks from an american fisheries society annual meeting mug anyway?

  3. Very nice. :-)

    "In lieu of having, there is the holding".

    :-) Going to smile about that for a while.

  4. Brave. I'd have taken the mug to the Salvation Army donation center the day after he left!

  5. Have many times left coffee behind, never thought of it being intentional or by accident. Brings up a good question. Also, love the mug.

  7. And was it a conscious or unconscious decision?

    The ambiguity here is most appealing.

  9. There are lots of arrowhead collections around here. Some of the points are five thousand years old or more. I swear I can feel the spirits in them. And they are just people. Like us. Somehow still alive in the artifact.
