Whats your most treasured posession?

[Ori]

Mine is a painting I made when I was five years old, because I won the school competition for a save the animals programme run by the W.W.F.
The picture is called "Owl by night" and I am still proud of it.

I don't really have a most prized possession. To be honest, I could deal with a lot of the stuff I have being broken or stolen. They're not too important to me. As long as I have a way to talk to my friends (whether it be my laptop, the family computer, a library computer, whatever) and a few books I'm happy. I get pissed off when my sister breaks or steals one of my things, but after a little bit I'm over it.

I love the things I made in pottery, so I gave them away. I wanted my friends to have stuff to remember me by. One I was particularly proud of was a very simple dark blue goddess statue about 9 inches tall with a spiral on her belly (the spiral I made using wax resistant glaze; it keeps the other glaze you put on top of it from attatching to the clay, so the clay underneath was showing through to form the spiral).

Perhaps, outside the norm of family and stuff, I am attached to a photo of me and my bro's, in one of the last times we would ever be together as a happy family. We had taken our mom up to Petit Jean National Park and Hot Springs, knowing little, that this would be one of the last times we would be together as a fam.

My collection of art. But the thing most prized is not a possession - my wife Gail

Methinks you should have been a diplomat Pah! Most teasured - I think it would have to be a set of chess pieces carved by my grandfather in a Russiam P.O.W camp in Russia in the first WW; one side is the 'German army' and the other, the 'Belgian army'; considering he only had a bit of broken knife, and he pinched bits of wood from all the prisoner's bunks, he did a fine job.

 

[Aqualung]

I don't know if you call this a possession, because it's lots of little possessions, but I don't know what I would do if I lost all my cds. I am a music junky, and I always am listening to something, and it gets too boring to listen to the same songs on the radio every day. So I releive that with my much needed cds.

 

[Lindsey-Loo]

Everything I own that my Great-Grandfather gave to me: Four of his army pins, a necklace with a teddy bear, a turkey ring he gave me one Thanksgiving, and a picture of him, taken at my brother's fourth birthday. And perhaps, also, the memories of the way he smiled,the way he laughed, and the stories he told. I think the three latter ones are more prized than the physical objects.

 

[Draka]

My photo album. The only thing I have to remind me of those I have lost and be able to look at them and let the memories overtake me. As well as a DVD of some home movies...to see and hear the wonderful voice of my daughter I no longer can see.

 

[QTpi]

I love my photo albums. Each photo is so full of memories. I have photos of my family from when photos were first made. There are old films that my grandfather made, but we put them on a video tape since the film was disintegrating. There is the roll-top desk that my grandfather helped his father make when he was just a boy, the handmade quilt from my great-great-grandmother. Most of all, I treasure the little notes that my children gave me from time to time saying "I love you Mommy" as they were growing up. I keep them in a "memory box."

 

[Jaymes]

Now that I think of it, there is one thing I prize more above everything else I own: My memories.

 

[Scuba Pete]

I don't cherish any physical item. The spiritual things appeal to me most.

Whats your most treasured posession?

It's new. And it's small. And sometimes pretty weak. But it's there......


My faith.

 

[Melody]

A lock of hair from my son's first haircut. I take it out every now and again because the texture takes me right back to memories of when he was 2.

 

[Mister Emu]

I am not sure you would call it a posession...

My relationship with the Lord.

 

[The Black Whirlwind]

my ForceFish, it is one of my most treasured posession because the Force assured me of its existence by the medium of a jade fish (now called the ForceFish), along with a hand-painted box from my grandma that i keep it in.

 

[Master Vigil]

I quite like my body. Without it, what else would I have?

 

[Neo-Logic]

Everything and nothing at the same time.

I like the things I have, but I don't get overly attached to any one thing over another. While I am no longer a Buddhist, I still like the ideology of material posessions being not of importance in life, because with emotional attachments comes with it, the inevitable pain.

I reserve this emotional attachment for people only - family, friends, and acquientances as losing them is the only thing truly worth hurting over.

A stuffed elephant I've had since I was very young.

my *****

 

[James the Persian]

Well mine would have to be either the handpainted icon of St. James the Persian a complete stranger gave to me for my Chrismation or a ladle made from a piece of crashed aircraft by a Russian prisoner of war in WWII, who gave it to my grandfather (who was in charge of the security in the ammunition factory in Germany where the soldier was held prisoner) because he was kind to him. That ladle, to me, is eidence that there were good people on all sides who could overlook their differences and the war and treat each other like real human beings.
