Stay Sharp

I have just sharpened a pencil.
I don't want a medal or anything but I have to admit to a guilty feeling of retro innocence.
Because sharpening a pencil makes you smile.
There was just too many school days.
So many pencils.
So many colours.
So much jealously over the teacher's wind-up sharpener - so excellent for making an elegant point.

If you want to connect with a skill you thought you'd lost or a part of your psyche you long thought atrophied, then take my advice.

Sharpen a pencil today.
