There are moments that are stored away in old, tin cans.
There are moments that are encased in gold.
They all take up the same amount of room upon the shelf.

True, they take up the same amount of space. But are they valued equally?

No. That’s why some are in old tin cans, while others are encased in gold.
But it’s all subjective. One man’s tin is another man’s gold.

Ever wondered what would happen if the lesser valued moment was accidentally encased in gold? (And vice versa)

I think we would gain greater perspective when looking back upon our lives. Many a small step is overlooked for the great turning points. But they all play their part, I think

Very true. Many of the moments this week are the rusted can ones I wouldn’t want to relive. (I really like those owls by the way. A friend collects owl pottery.)

I too know someone who collects owls. And another who collects elephants. Oh, and one more who has a thing for pandas. Funny what we identify with.
