While at Apple Butter Makin' Days selling my bookish wares, I sat out a feather quill pen for all try. And try they did. I ran out of paper a few times & often I saw people lined up to scrawl their name or flourish a squiggle in a way that has nearly been forgotten. It was a treat to see children try (and succeed) & adults smile, giggle, looking pleased. It does not surprise me that something so simple and tactile should being fun and fulfilling. Our hands must tire of typing, texting, & finger flicking touch screens. Reward your fingers with something real, reward your mind.
