Typically, any object that has been around longer than we have can give us a feeling of warmth. For example, scuffed-up wooden chairs, ceramics that have a small crack, and black-and-white photos curling at the edges all possess a hidden richness. They give off a soft vibration of all the stories they have held. Objects that have weathered time are more than just objects. They are companions. They tell us we are part of a longer timeline that extends both before us and will extend after us.
