The glass bowl has two beaten eggs in it—someone's lunch. The ceramic bowl has a copper penny in it. Just one. The wooden bowl contains two grains of uncooked rice; there was no more to be had. The bronze bowl is empty, but it is singing.Â

That bronze bowl? Is it one that has been singing - singularly, salient and oh so sweet - since antiquity? Today is it's tuning to 'The Song of Achilles'?
Those three other #bowls that make-up the quartet of bowls ensembled each with its particular provenance and story of an for today to convey . . . are they somehow siblings or simply strays that have blown in balled in tumbleweed to centre stage of your imagination?
Such a very short story. Sparkling; so many sparks already, today, on just one first reading. Tomorrow? Another horizon, over which who knows what sparks may catch what kindle to ignite fresh story fires?
Such a very short story. Such a very excellent short story. Such a very excellent short story indeed.
Thank you Camila.
