I distributed pencils today. What a boring object you might remark. Au contraire! I find there is something appealing about a brand new pencil. The sunny yellow color, the smell of the wood, the unused eraser, and the sharpened point make this tool extraordinary. I marvel that from a block of cedar, one can produce these practical writing implements to be used by millions to inform, entertain, and instruct.. A pencil may be considered old fashioned, but using one to express ourselves through words and drawings will never go out of style.
