Although this is a physical object the precious thing contained
within is not. I love all types of glass. This is not really very useful with two
small children around the house. We should invest in some very high up shelves,
especially now LittleR is perfecting her skills as a mountaineer.
That aside, I still love glass. This glass bottle was sent
to me by a very close friend. She moved to New Zealand 10 years ago. I have no
idea where all that time has gone. In the most recent of times our phone calls
have dwindled. It’s hard to keep that connection when there’s a 13 hour time
difference and you have so much happening in your life; me managing family and
work and she managing building her own
home.
Our friendship is more than phone calls though. I know that
if I needed her at any moment to listen or to vent to, she’d be there. Contained
within that bottle is our distilled friendship. Last month, Sarah talked of
transient treasures, which made me think. This precious thing cannot be seen but
is there. She’s often in my thoughts and every time I pass the front door, in
or out of the house, I see the bottle and think of her and her friendship.
