Writing Totems

logospilgrim mentioned her writing totems - those items one surrounds oneself with which provide inspiration, comfort and encouragement. I realise that all my life I have done this; I have collected souvenirs, grouped together small trinkets, gathered like things in vases, boxes and bowls. Things I can touch and glance at or reminisce over. As I read Logos' post, I looked around my writing desk and saw tons of such items; treasures given to me by friends, or picked up along the way on my journeys. In terms of money, they may not be worth a great deal, but to me they are priceless. They represent moments in my life, and dreams I had, because really, that's all we are doing when we write - we're sharing our dreams. I thought I'd share a few of my writing totems with you, because they mean such a great deal to me.
As you can see, so many of my treasures are gifts from friends here. I truly believe they were sent to me imbued with love and support and encouragement, and they give me such contentment and peace when I look at them. If you have ever sent me anything, I want you to know that I keep them, and love them, and love to talk about the marvelous generous friends I have here, who daily give me the impetus to keep doing what I do.
