POWER OBJECTS

A woman hikes up a hill in a local park in the early morning hours just before sunrise. She carries a backpack and a walking stick that she uses to steady her feet and clear away sharp rocks from the path. She arrives at her special spot on top of the hill just as the sun rises over the valley. She can see the skyscrapers and other tall buildings downtown in the distance. She sets her backpack on the ground and pulls out an old felt pouch—opening it, she removes a gnarled piece of driftwood wrapped in different colored ribbons, a chunk of black tourmaline, a tiny seashell wrapped gently in a small piece of tissue paper, a number of acorns strung together with a thin blue cord, and a hand-made rattle from a gourd she grew the previous year in her garden for that purpose. She places the acorns around her neck, takes the black stone in one hand and the rattle in the other, and begins to pray for the people of her city: for all who are rising to begin their workday, for those who wake with worries and doubts already in their minds, for those with bills to pay and children to feed.
