[ Symbols ]

I have a box full of t-shirts that I don’t wear anymore.  They are from concerts and events, and, of course, marathons and Ironmans.

They are symbols of things I’ve done, been and represented.  I can’t quite bring myself to dispose of them, but they do take up space.  (A practical solution, which I’ll do eventually, is to take photos of each, and then turn them into rags).

The human need to have artefacts of things we’ve done, and places we’ve been, is an interesting quirk.  With all the stuff in the world, we seem to still need symbolic souvenirs.
