10 Objects in War

In no particular order:

Rope (thin, synthetic):
Rope is a binder - it lashes things together, it raises things up high,
It holds them up above the drop, an article in which we place our faith.
Bend it, Twist it, Curl it, Knot it, and it weakens. Always.

Pennant (on small chain around neck):
Take care of the heart, for from it comes the wellspring of life. (Proverbs)
It is wind - shades of blue upon shades of blue, sweeping across the sky.

Sprig (grass, from my yard):
Breathe in the oxygen received, feel the texture of safe life.

Pebble (from the creek):
Smooth from long survival

Bowl (phoenix scratched in bottom):
Put coins in, worry in, fear in. The Phoenix perseveres.

Sword (miniature, from Toledo):
Straight with hope, steel lettteropener, to begin.

Dictionary (Liliput, blue):
Knowledge, resource, holds the unknown

Hacky Sack (not brand name):
Bounce it, throw it, sack it

Feather (small, light):
Flutters, flies, spins in wind, darts, is unpredictable. Alive on the air's breath.

Family Tree (with my cousins and what they do, catagorized and colored):
Because my past is important, and we are what we were unless we choose otherwise.
Such bonds are not chosen, only shared.
