Every Tuesday, step by step, I’m walking with my readers from A to Z, last week we had “O” (visit tagged o), so this week we have P – I’m sure you’ll find a story or a short reflection tagged with “P”! Feel free to add in the comments below the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “P”!!! Myself I’ll feature P for possessions:
POSSESSIONS
Maybe we should reduce our possessions down to what we can carry on a bicycle (for example: the dog, the cello, the newspaper) – or like the African girl: introduce your most important! My own choice would be (if I had to leave a kind of modern Titanic): my moleskine notebooks with some autobiographic short stories…

Hi Frizz, the alphabet “P” is a positive one. For me, it means “purpose”…a whole life filled. The “man with bass and dog” is a life of intent and energy. The girl with a doll a life of purpose to cherish. Your modern Titanic moleskine notebooks is a life full of purpose, one of creation. Possessions, a good word, reminds us of our life 🙂
