PROMPT: Belongings

Daily writing prompt
What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

I do have a jō (short wooden staff) of which I’m fond. I crave books, but since I could care less whether I read them as paper or on a screen and gladly give any but those with long-term reference value away after reading, I don’t think they count.

Being fonder of ideas than anything material, I like the story about Diogenes the Cynic who, upon seeing a boy drink from cupped hands, threw away his cup in self-anger for being such a hoarder.

What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

My body. 100%. Nothing else is in the ballpark.
