Gift

Hi!
So, in this post here I am gonna talk about gifts.
I must confess that I mostly don't abide by the principles
of special occasions. Whether it is Christmas, festivals
or birthdays. If I know you well, you'd usually find me
avoiding sending any of my regards. Its all these
yearly repetition which makes little significance to me.
However, I do not imply that I hate these special days,
Days as such I appreciate them in the shades of the general public.
they merely a mark, a day of remembrance and that is all they'll ever be.
But it is in an individual relationship,
which I treat more with more specialty.
What lies in the meaning of needing to remember ones
birthday, sending regards and gifts?
It does not make your relationship any more genuine.
For, the amount of how one matters to you is not measured
by the mark of dates.
.
There is birth and then the time you will live.
There is the car accident and the eternity of death.
My gift comes as so,
It is very precious and delicate.
It is the recreation of the moment
in the form of coincidence or destiny.
There are no days.
for then the moment given shall not be marked,
It is kept and remembered only knowing as a whole,
that there is still life, that you are still living.
And perhaps a new life if created when it is passed on.
So lie's the significance of the gifts I had bestowed to you.
to dot, dot, dot and dot. I hope you'll keep them timelessly.

It was Christmas a few days ago, and I was to celebrate
it at my former homestay guardians home.
They told me to bring a santa surprise gift of less than 10 dollars.
Santa surprise, meaning that we swap gifts unknowing the giver.
I was told that there were few others who would be attending.
Those who I do not recognize.

Anywho,
I decided to make a very special gift,
to a special person whom I perhaps know not of.
See, I still do follow and appreciate the culture
of special occasions.

Its a cupboard of a realms.

And within it's center a capsule you'll uncover a fossil preserving time.
It is one which I had picked up from the exposed strata of mulbrings.
It is are around 250mil years old and on it you could see a Molluscs and
Bryozoa.

And a close up on the realms.
I suppose i should just spoil your ability to imagine
and just tell you my interpretation behind the shelves.
It is pretty obvious what it means as a whole.
Everyone has em. They are dreams.
Perhaps dreams from a single night or many nights.
But the only story that lie behind the individual scenes
is that they were all thought up with the convenience
of materials I had, and of a possible solution to make.
They were all random really.


So yeah it had a cover,
a very plain one,
The lid has a embossed square
at the bottom which sits in
perfectly with the center of the box.
I did want to have more of a design to it,
But I ran short of time.

So yeah wrapped in crumpled butter paper
and masking tape twisted into a string.
I like the way you could open a present
without turning it around and tearing it apart.
So I had not used any tape for sticking.



"But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that, even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you. Valerie. " quote from V for Vendetta.

That is a comic strip from V for Vendetta and that is
a quote from the movie. The dialogues of both are not very
identical. But I was first influence by the quote from the movie.

Yall have to watch/read the movie/comic if you wanna know
the whole story. But it was this quote and the story behind this quote
which had drawn me to make this very special give to a possible stranger.
Its about changing someone when all hope is lost.
There is 0.0000000001 chance if every one in the world to exchange presents
that you would have receive this gift. With the odds, you had not physically received it.
but significance of this gift has spread as a spirit
and stranger it is too given to you.

To clear things up, my former homestay guardian received it,
and they are definitely no strangers, and I was very happy that they did.
But still the idea stays, which I had before making the gift,
that i was not aware that I would give to someone I know.
And that meaning which although they wouldn't know,
should still lie in the deeply in that box.

I received a gnome and I really like it a lot.
I like random things that make little sense.
the candle is mine btw, just wanted some
feel from the middle ages.
It was that time when we were opening presents
that was really fun, because everyone received some
absurd and obscene gifts. My gnome farts btw.
