What follows is an exercise from one of my books about writing:
Imagine that you have died and a civil committee has been appointed to select some souvenirs from your life, things you used, wore, possessed, received. What will be found in the display from some of the key points in your life?
Ok, here goes.
A box of Legos
A clam shell from Newport, RI
A basketball
My high school jacket with the varsity letter for band
A photo of my parents
My Afghan hound's leash
A pair of black engineer boots
A Philly cheesesteak hoagie from South Jersey
A pair of Lee jeans
An unabridged dictionary
The acceptance letter for Berklee College of Music
A box of condoms
A rubber band for my hair
My son's first pair of cowboy boots
My badge from the PD
A black leather jacket
The deed to my house
The keys to my car
Pictures of my cats
My handwritten journals
A CD of my blog archives
I probably could think of more, but this is what I came up with off the top of my head.
