One man's trash another man's treasure

in #creativity8 years ago

Often times we tend to forget we are surrounded by the world. The world full of trees, rocks, fabric and all kinds of different materials blessed by different properties.
It is not all about money and I am the first one to forget it at times which is why I decided to write a little piece of reassurance.

Recently I raided an old abandoned attic of a house my father bought from an old lady next door. Seemingly all that was worth anything was taken out leaving only piles of dust, broken glass and dirty old furniture. Entering the mice poop and spiderweb infested house left you feeling like you only wanted to leave, but taking a second, third, hard look revealed hidden treasures to be repurposed (can't spell this word without the red squiggly lines appearing, but I ask to be forgiven :) ) I ended up digging up a bunch of cool things rejected by the owners like two big glass jars, an old rotten wooden wine barrel (which makes for a nice sounding collection of words) and a bunch of old spoons and forks. I might even go there now to take a few photos for documentary purposes to later be able to show them to you before and after.

Writing these words sent a wave of inspiration through me and a feeling like there is a whole world of rejected treasures to revive and enjoy and I only hope to encourage you to give things a second and a third hard look because the one about one man's trash being another man's treasure might actually be the one to inspire seeking out the treasure dressed down as trash somewhere around you.
