Eva’s Byte #534 – The Alteration
Trash vs. Treasure
I tread a fine line in determining what should be tossed and what should be kept. Assessing the contents of a storage closet every now and then, I recently questioned the validity of keeping an oblong accent pillow. Due to a few missing tassels, it had been put out to pasture on a shelf.
For me, parting with things can be such sweet sorrow.
Looking at the pillow from a new perspective, I came to the conclusion that its integrity would be preserved if I cut off all of the remaining tassels. In its altered state, the perimeter of gold-threaded loops gave the matching brocaded pillow an elegant new lease on life.
This treasure now resides on a bench in the middle of two other accent pillows.
In the capacity of a writer whose draft is subject to on-going alterations, I’m treading the finish line of chapter 20 (906 words thus far) along my Contemporary work in progress.
*May each of us view things in a new light.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
