What Would You Take

What would you leave behind If you could only choose three things? would it be gold, jewelery or some such like? or some of the more mundane things. Image that you will be on an isolated island what three things would serve you best? would it be clothes, cooking utensils and bedding? all of the above could be of great use. For me I would take my dogs, large piece of canvas and lastly I would take music, that I could not do without my dogs for company and to hunt for the table the canvas would help fashion a shelter for us all. The rest would come with time and hard work the sea would supply a great variety of food rich soil to till and grow crops of wheat and corn fruit trees to gather plums, oranges and mangoes Plenty of wood to gather for fires to cook on I would dig a pit and place rocks in there with a nice flat stone to seal it, let it burn down and hey presto you have an oven in which to bake Sit back and relax with some coconut wine until the food is ready, tuck in and enjoy the fruits of your labor as you enjoy some music and watch the sunset as dusk falls So when you stop and think on what to take just remember that nature supplies us with most of what we need, think deep and hard before you decide trappings of life versus nature written 09/20/2013
