40 years ago, while shopping for oriental rugs for an old cottage in the Castro, I fell in love with a children's pull toy: a hand carved wooden Trojan horse from Turkey (of course). Four decades later, it is still one of my favorite, non-vibrating toys.

So here it is, where I see it every morning, on a shelf just below a window in my bedroom. I took this photo yesterday, just as the morning light started to filter through the window shade. It's something calm and gentle to start off the week.
