Power of Things


Strangest thing the power “items” have in our lives.  As we walked into Macy’s, just “window-shopping,” about 20 feet ahead of us was a pair of hot pink patent leather fluorescent heels.  Our eyes did not even glance at any other object in the store.  The hot pink heels pulled us as if we were tiny little magnets and my hand reached out and grabbed them.  I began to investigated their shape and shine, my eyes big as a full moon, checking them for cushy and comfort (as if that mattered).  The magnet lost its grip on me when I realized I don't really even like pink yet I stood there gripping these pink patents.  Wait, rerun that, how did I get here so fast?  In this wanting and wishing state of mind?  Really, they drew me there!  But how?  Makes me think… if “things” have that kind of power then what kind of power do people have?
