Stone
In summer, we visited Bornholm, a Danish island. We went to a beach to look at, and collect, some stones. We brought home a few of them to use as decorations, to be reminded of the island, and to spend quality time with non-human beings.
The other day I went to our local supermarket. They had so many seasonal decorations, made cheaply from plastic. It's heartbreaking to see nature being transformed into plastic spiders and artificial pumpkins. I feel that this is where our, consumers', agency matters so much. We can choose something different and infinitely better. Stones, shells, seasonal flowers, colourful fruits and vegetables, herbs, nuts. I've been using such things as decorations for many years, and they always feel more magical than human-made objects. Though children's drawings are also beautiful!
