A Pencil of Mystery!

      A pencil . . . as a gift . . .  a mystery?  Strange? A bit. Yet a gift that could change your life! With a pencil you could write a book, a story, a scientific equation—any of which could change, not only your life, but the world—forever! By the use of a pencil you could win an award or find yourself in the deepest, darkest prison! It all depends on how you use it. So, use it to the best advantage you can. Tell a story . . . your story. Write a poem or sketch your dog . . . let your imagination take you where it will. Or tell us how you will use this gift to make the world a better place. The only limit is your talent and imagination—or what’s in your heart. And like a finger print, your creation is unique to you.

     Why, you may ask, not a pen, a sharpie, or a computer. Because, you see, a pencil has a subtle relationship with the one who wields it: tones from black to the lightest gray spring forth from your touch—nuances that express your emotions, your tenderness, your anxiety, your rage—the snapping of a pencil’s point tells a story of it’s own! 

     

     As Kathleen & I traverse this country perhaps we will find little treasures—things that we can share with all of you. Some of them could be as prizes for those who take the challenge and use your pencil to its best advantage. So when you see us feel free to request your pencil of mystery—the rest is up to you!
