(B)ring out the bells

Hands up if, to retrieve your Christmas ornaments, you have to crawl into small spaces, fight off spiders and alien beasts and then dust off the items.

This pretty cascade of delicate, glass bells was so entangled I nearly hurled them into the dustbin of failure.

After more than an hour of hunched over, patient untangling, I was able to reflect on how the gentle curvature of the bells and their shadows, resembled my broken back.
