Pen

Pens, Ballpoint pen, Fountain pen

A pen is small enough to lose in a pocket, yet it can write a love letter or a shopping list. It tends to show up when you're deciding whether to put an opinion or a feeling down in black and white. Chewing the end of a pen suggests a moment of indecision, when you're buying time before you commit. Someone taking your pen without asking can reflect a sense that others are using your ideas or your voice. A beautiful fountain pen adds ceremony, as if a message deserves extra care.
