sort by kind

i have a flat file cabinet full of bits and pieces of found nature.  the botanical drawers are sorted by color. the reaming drawers are sorted by kind: seed pods, dead insects, bones, shells, and feathers. pinecones and nests are too large to fit in a flat file. i think i will start a drawer just for tendrils soon. i have no idea what i will ever do with these collections.  but it makes me happy to know they are there. and keeps me living in s state of heightened attentiveness–always on the look out for another treasure to add to the others. STILL is a blog. and a daily creative challenge. but it is also a way of living in the world.
