A wooden stick from my native seaside, a brick from my parents' home, beads from my necklace, and a stone from my favorite beach. Together, they symbolize my journey, each carrying memories. The sound of bells adds an ethereal touch, weaving magic into the ordinary and binding these elements together. You shake and call — and another world will open, you will see things that were previously hidden.
