This is a Christmas gift given me my the Brown Eyed Girl that will have meaning for a great long while.Anyone who knows me knows my deep affection for Oregon, the place I was born in. You can always get me by showing my something deeply Oregon, and this is Oregon AF, as they say today.
A simple bookmark, gotten by my spouse at the David Douglas Holiday Bazaar, which she was able to hit after a pandemic year off:
The art was no doubt inspired by the work cited on the obverse ... this is an upcycled library card catalog card, you see:
This makes me think of Oregon history, its highs, its lows, its promise and its problematical sides. Numerous conflicting thoughts pertain, and this card as the bookmark of my diary will, I think, make me be more thoughtful about a great deal.
It represents a great deal about time and events that are complicated and ineffable at times. As such, it's a dear treasure already.
