Jacks
The name derives from “chackstones”—stones to be tossed. The knuckle, wrist, or ankle bones (astragals) of goats, sheep, or other animals also have been used in play. Such objects have been found in prehistoric caves in Kiev, Ukraine, and pictures of the game are depicted on jars from ancient Greece.
Excerpt from the entry: Jacks, The Encyclopaedia Britannica
A Balance
our lives
strike a balance between friendship
and love and loyalty—
we are positioned for direct and often indirect impacts,
even if most of the times we miss—
at least we can say
that we tried
Play
play is another form of meditation
Magic
one tiny dish
two whispered wishes
three glass marbles
One Word: One Week: 1
nostalgia
Recently
tulips and primroses
little gnomes on balconies
chamomile tea
space toys from the 50’s
black garden snakes
open windows and cool breezes

Play
take time to play
Lately, these blue things
soft bandana on my head with grey whisps of hair escaping and silver earings glinting
marbles and sea glass held safely by a small bowl with cracked glaze and poppy seed markings
warm blankets from Yellowstone cradling a little blue truck no longer played with–but forever loved
Marbles
The cool, clinking and tinkling
sounds you emitted when touched,
sparked a nostalgic happiness
that filled the afternoon.
