CD : 530 mist : what a find?


[ ...] Once I filled my hand with mist. Then I opened it, and look, the mist was a worm. And I closed and opened my hand again, and behold there was a bird. And again I closed and opened my hand, and in its hollow stood a man with a sad face turned upward. And again I closed my hand, and when I opened it, there was nothing but mist. But I heard a song of exceeding sweetness.[...]
what a find?
at the charity
shop; a book and stamp set waits
“Fun with Hieroglyphs”

how could I pass this treasure?
a chance to play with drawn words
to travel in dreams
in the mists of the Nile
carving poems in stones

      Stamps and a book explaining how to use them - for just a few dollars.
      Now making the time to play with them :)
