Junk Drawer Spirituality

Found the old New Testament given to me in grade school, and I always meant to read it growing up, until I didn't, storing it away in a bottom dresser drawer with some grainy pictures I printed off the internet when I was in high school, leftover screws from shelves I no longer own, old love poems for people I barely remember now- all of it junk that once had enough meaning to be kept, which proves our souls more than I want to admit.

Very creative, Richard. I especially like the part talking about all the junk in the grawer. It really does represent our lives. Great job.
