Hmmm, need to muse on this for a while - lovely image though. And sentiments about acquisition of things is not something you have on your own - I seem to acquire things that mean something to me, but perhaps not to anyone else. Like the collection of pebbles I picked up from Birdlings' Flat (and stored in a square glass jar along with a feather I also picked up), and the wooden poseable figurine that I have sitting beside me, and the glass mouthpiece for the clarinet I no longer have, and the tiny fimo cat that my daughter made - well, you get the picture. Delete or edit this if you think it's rambling, I was just touched by your commentary.

The music box and theme from Beauty and the Beast are all in G maj?
Its nice when you find something that resonates and inspires you. Fortunately I think you have a few more years to worry about becoming senile!

@Jason Kravitz: Got it!

Heh, I hope I don't even become senile but from the hereditary gene I most likely possess it will probably, unfortunately, happen.

A very touching post, Jenny. Nice shot too.

Thank you Jenny, for me thats a lovely interpretation, the clock(work) music box is a finely imagined concept, and your story is just wonderful. The G major threw me and I can only imagine it is as Jason described. I think it's human nature to hoard things which practically serve no purpose but serve to remind us of times past. I know I do. In fact my fathers house is so full of my childhood toys, books, games and so on I think he may be worried about me slipping into senility myself. Btw, extra special congratulations for hitting the deadline, as I know your time was limited!

Nice work, Jenny! The way you've composed this, it really looks like a magic key to the music box.
