Mavis -> RE: The Characteristics of being "property" (2/7/2008 12:30:43 AM)
|
i like the idea of being property in that, for me, it says something about function. As long as i operate within the "expected norms" for U/us, i get regular maintenance, attention, sometimes a special position, or whatever was agreed to at the outset. But being property reminds me that i influence how i am used; cherished and kept, or taken out of service, based on my behavior or operating efficiency. i don't expect to be removed from service for say, falling ill and unable to do certain things, but in as much as i can make myself useful, i stay in my happy place. i also thrive to some extent on the knowledge that even if i do all those things, i might be put away as a bike in winter at His whim, and that's good/bad/creepy/scarey/hot to me too!.
