Prevalence of P

This one's from Nandita (thanks!). She gave the letter 'P', and i've got to make a list of 10 things that start with this letter and say what they mean to me.

Here goes.

In no particular order.

1. Paper

There's something magical about a sheet of paper. For the empty variety, I always feel a sense of excitement, thinking of what this piece of paper is going to hold. Maybe a letter to a friend. Maybe biology notes. Maybe even an interesting conversation with a friend when we're supposed to be listening to a lecture/talk. A piece of paper can hold so much. For the written-on variety, it's a record of anything from my handwriting in Primary 3 to a note from a treasured friend. Paper is marvellous.

2. Pictures

Beautiful ones. A picture can be an eye. Or a group of friends. Or a soccer game. Or a sleeping baby. Pictures are to capture innocence. And they are extra special when they're old.

3. Poetry

Poetry can makle you laugh, reflect or sadden. Whatever type of poetry it is, it reaches beyond words and expression. Lovely.

4. Paths

It's those little by-lanes that i read about so much but have never seen, at least, never in real life, that seem the most interesting. Imagine the thrill of entering a natural path no one has entered before! Or a worn, overgrown path not trodden on for ages! Venturing into adventure, and maybe danger, is very exciting.

5. Purity

It's good to stay pure. Though i'm afraid no one can. Except little children. When you're pure, you're incapable of doing harm to anyone intentionally. But maybe it's a bit too idealistic.

6. Pepper

Just the right amounts of everything to make life good, including the troublesome pepper. Sneeze your way to victory.

7. Patches (thanks dw!)

Pathwork quilts: extremely different pieces of ragged cloth come together to form something timeless and diverse. I have different personalities, though they probably aren't visible. They aren't as seamless as i'd like them to be though, they get a bit too confusing at times.

8. Pine

Pine needles make the most lovely rustling noise. Not that i've heard them. I just imagine they'll be melodious. =) It's good to have an active imagination when you're stuck in a place quite void of pines.

9. Passages

Narrow passages. With no return? Perhaps. A life of no regret? Probably. Passages indicate progression and for some unexplainable reason, pain. And adventure of course. They may not be the most wonderful of things, just something a different part of me likes.

10. Pioneers

The very sound of the word gives me the shivers. Of excitement. To be a pioneer is the most interesting profession I could have. It's a pity countries have all already been discovered. Maybe I shall be an explorer of the Bermuda Triangle. It's a pity that people who claim to be pioneers supposedly aren't very nice. For further details, ask Pearlyn.
