I have a thing for
keys and it goes way beyond just real unique, unusual, and old keys. It could be that keys unlock things just as
my love of books and useless tidbits of knowledge could be used to unlock
things hidden, lost or that are to remain mysteries to be solved only by those
who possess the required key or information.
I relate my love of keys to my wife always having the key to
my heart. Before the clothes and makeup
at her very worst I think she is the most beautiful woman in the entire world. That it would be a toss-up as to which of us
has the cruelest or more sarcastic sense of humor. That no matter what she has my back and is
always there for me. I pray I always
possess the key to her heart.
I relate my love to keys to the keys of maps. I am fascinated by maps and the wealth of
information they contain within them. My
looking at a map you can become familiar with an area in spite of the fact you
have never actually been there. The keys
hold the date of the map, the scale and useful information for using the
map. I love old maps of places
especially when you can compare them to later maps of the same area, it just
gets my imagination reeling!
I love old keys of
all sorts. The special mystery of
holding a key is that it is only half of the puzzle. Until you know what lock it goes to you will
never know what it was intended to guard.
The set together, lock and key, always holds a fascination with my imagination
in that you don’t know what could be inside or behind the lock. The entire reason keys and locks were created
was to secure something, usually something of value to the person who locked
it.
So when I see a key I can’t help getting excited as my over
active imagination runs through multitudes of stories that have been written or
that I may write which all starts with just a single key. Most people never give them a second glance
or passing thought. I hope if you took
the time to read this post that you never look at keys the same way again.
Have a Great Day and Weekend.
To my writers remember any little thing, some curiosity and imagination could lead to your next great story.
