After being abused by a logger I resided in a garage for many years, just losing weight and drying up. At least I did have the company of some of my partners that once formed a nice healthy Cherry tree. All of a sudden I was transferred to a place that had many different boards, all cut up like me. It was only then that I felt I was being watched closely. For a few months I was manhandled, picked up, turned over, moved from this spot to that, never knowing what was going to happen next. Frequently there was this couple, Sheila and George, who talked about me. they said some weird things about changing me so that I was to become something unheard of, some piece of art. I just couldn't imaginge what that was going to feel like, but it did feel nice the times I got caressed!! One day I got moved from the pile of boards to a higher location on top of a bench. It felt good until this loud noise started to gnaw a piece of me. Then after being disfigured I was reamed through this machine which took away all my protective coating. As difficult as it was it felt nice to have Sheila and George admire my new looks. Even I was getting to like the attention and my slimmer, smoother figure. Then I was officially partnered with a close friend of mine who had experienced the same things as I had. We had been very close for many years and it was comforting to be always in the company of my friend. We did form a great couple, two old boards renewed and laying in the admiring looks of Sheila and George. I thought we had it made but suddenly George took a big piece of our cells. My friend & I hung together throughout this and we were even hung up on a wall. Those looks from Sheila and George still were haunting, is this what becoming a piece of art is all about. George did make us feel good, he gave us a bath daily in an oil that although it smelled strong, we were clothed with a bright sheen. We felt attractive again!! Sheila and George kept looking at us hanging on the wall and talking about birds. I never did enjoy those pesky things, it was really bad when they used me as a bathroom! I just hoped I wasn't hearing this art thing correctly! One day a friend of Sheila's was looking at me and came up with something neat. Using our tips we could become an Eagle. Imagine that, my friend and I soaring high as an Eagle! We haven't heard of any other direction for us so I hope this Eagle idea does come about. It would be so nice to be looked at with awe and to ultimately hang in a prominent location. If someone does like Eagles, I am sure we would be well taken care of. Sheila keeps looking at us, sometimes staring but it does not feel uncomfortable anymore. I do think my destiny has been set!! From a board in a dusty old garage to being with my friend forming a showcase piece of art!!  |
