i live with a seven year old girl,
who is quite amazing and such a joy.
yesterday, she saw my tattoo
for the first time and asked why.
thinking she was too young to 'get it'
i simply said, "cause i like paperclips."
she responded, "i'll need a better reason than that!"
so here it is:
i need a constant reminder to be flexible in life.
to allow movement.
to give way to change.
to bend like the trees.
why? because it is the only way to be productive.
it is the only way to grow and serve out a purpose.
the paperclip, to me, is a pure example of this.
the bend gives it purpose - to hold things together.
plus, it's a pretty damn cool design.
i really do just like it.
