Objects

Daily writing prompt
What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

Funny enough, when you have nothing , everything is taken away , you are stripped of the things that you thought important. What is left? Objects, do they matter and could you live without them? Sometimes you have no choice. In the past people have had no choice and have survived by adapting to circumstances or by fortuitous accident or coincidence.

A receptacle to hold water when you have flowing water all around you and without a receptacle you cannot have a drink. ( cupping your hands satisfies a need). You have wood to make a fire but no match, this is hard as suddenly the wood seems useless. Without a match, fire and warmth could you live without them? Perhaps there is a spark somewhere? Finally , nutrients, how would you sustain yourself , you don’t need plates and a knife and fork, but you look for food that you can eat again with your bare hands.

Objects are not what life is about, they do make life’s processes easier however.

Two Forks and A Cloth

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

A fork both big and small

And a cloth to wrap them all.

Sad to say I need so much more

But to list them here would be such a bore.
