Bells & Shells

My father’s surname rhymes with bell and shell.

My husband’s surname rhymes with pine and line.

English language learners are called E.L.L.

Pearls, oysters, scallops grow in the sea.

 

P.S. I’m reading a book: Signs & Symbols. The scallop shell has an interesting symbolic history. “Originally it was a symbol of the female sexual organs.” “Christianity made the scallop shell a symbol of the hope of resurrection and rebirth.”

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
