talisman

i am a very superstitious person.

that's how i have hard time getting rid of talisman; it's supposed to be burned in bonfire at shrines or temples at the end of year; they expire after a year.

we are not supposed to keep a talisman more than a year, but this one has been at my apartment more than a year. i couldn't find a fire, i couldn't find a right moment to do it.

...also, after having such a thing in your daily life for a year, you get attached to it, and you would want to take a proper process to take care of the object.

.......also, another simple thing; i just loved this talisman. it is such a beautiful object with such a beautiful entity.

last month, i was house-sitting for somebody, and there was a fire place in the house. i knew i had to do it. otherwise, i will carry this talisman around for a long time, longer than i should.

it burned beautifully, and i felt good that i could release this small object.

spirits dwell in any small objects.
