My grandmother left me this really pretty antique piece of furniture. Basically its a wooden upstanding buffet with glass shelving where you can display whatever it is you collect.
I was telling a friend about it and she asked what I collect. I really do not collect anything. I guess if anything I sort of collect hard cover books by my favorite authors but no knick knacks or anything. Half the time I think they look tacky...no offense.
What do YOU collect?

What do you collect?
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

Books. I love books. No e-reader for me, please. Coins as well. My grandfather gave me a set of mint state quarters every single year.
Honestly, though, I kind of wish I had none of it. I don't want to become attached to things. When you have lots of things you need a place to put them, and places cost lots of money, and money requires a job and commitment. I like the idea of being able to uproot and migrate on a whim.God, so atrocious in the Old Testament, so attractive in the New--the Jekyl and Hyde of sacred romance.

I have a really old Deutsche Mark. I think it's worth about $50 right now.
