Morphisms

It's funny how we personify objects. This is the king of the jungle. We took our highest-ranking human and gave that name to the highest-ranking tree. This tree has been growing for years. It has witnessed years and years of seasons, of people old and new, of moons rising and falling, of plants dying and growing, of rain and sleet and fire. This tree is history personified. Consider the following thought experiment: what if we turn personification on it's head, and take the traits of inanimate objects and apply them to humans?

Still. Stable. Grounded. Mature. All-seeing. These are pretty good examples of things we may want to be called. Weird, how inanimate objects don't objectify humans.

Fun fact: Chremamorphism is the act of applying the traits of objects to people.

Leave your mark...

...wherever you go. Even if it is in the pins-and-magnet toy in a tech museum.

Step foot on a new mountain -- first a real one and then a metaphorical one. Hug someone who looks like they are having a bad day. Try a new recipe with a twist and keep honing it, if you like it, until you reach your own perfection -- one good dish is better than thirty sloppy ones. Bring your own ideas to the table no matter how silly you think they are -- if they are creative no one can fault you for not being brave and at the least it will generate another great idea. Leave your mark, whatever you do.
