Friday finally arrives and brings with it the fantastic weekend engagement topics given to us by @galenkp , I always look forward to this day, I really enjoy developing the themes that are given to us also and above all because they are always so interesting.
This time I was quite undecided, in the end I chose to talk about my time capsule... also because I thought that there will be a moment when this capsule will really be created and hidden in our garden for posterity hehehehe!
It's a beautiful thing and, I think, that it would be fantastic for the children's children to find this capsule and see what it contains, I would be thrilled!
I am asked to choose three objects and so I will; I think I will put a few more in the box that I will actually make, also because the capsule will not only contain my objects as I am not the only member of the family.!
But let's get back to us!
The first of the three items I chose is my scout handkerchief; this has great importance for me (and it has for all those who have been and are scouts), it is the symbol of a promise made in front of all my brothers, the promise to always respect and honor the scout law; I put it in the time box precisely because of its importance.
Anyone who will find this object in two hundred years, if they share my principles, will immediately understand what it is and what it wants to communicate... be stubborn, commit yourself and realize your design, go your way, embark on your journey, overcome every obstacle but without subterfuge, keep honest and sincere.
Yes, I really hope that by finding the handkerchief my great-grandchildren will receive this message!
The second object I've chosen is relatively new, since it's been in my possession since Christmas, but I'm attached to it a lot; I'm talking about my pocket watch engraved with a tribal bird similar to one of my tattoos, I like to think it's a woodpecker heh heh!
For me, time has a very important value and cannot be exchanged for anything, I would like the message that those who find that watch get to be just this; maybe instead they will think that it is a collector's item and will try to sell it (in reality it is not, it has little economic and very sentimental value).
I really wouldn't trade my time for anything, I'd be willing to give it up just for the love of my family; this is to say that every rule can have its exception, but exceptions are made only for the most important things that exist and are something rare.
The third item is my Lego representing Kurama, the nine-tailed fox from the anime Naruto; let's talk about my favorite anime, just like Naruto and Kurama are my most loved manga characters; In the coming months I'm going to tattoo the seal that keeps Kurama confined inside Naruto.
I'm fond of this piece because I've always identified with the story, in the past I've always thought I had a monster enclosed inside me, in reality then my Kyubi is as good as Naruto's and only after accepting it, becoming friends with it and freeing it all the true potential that is there is revealed.
I believe that as a thought it is very convoluted and, hardly, whoever finds Kurama's Lego will think this thing, probably will simply think that I am a lego lover heh heh!
Well, I think I've come to an end, these are the three objects that my capsule would contain, this is their meaning for me and what I think whoever finds these things will think; I don't know if it will really go like this but, it's nice, to be able to try to imagine it and think that things will really take place this way.
Thanks for making it to the end of this post, I hope you enjoyed it.
