Daydream

"Everything starts as somebody's daydream."

-Larry Niven

Daydreaming today about the fabulous Cousins Tripp and the adventures that make me smile.  Daydreaming about pina coladas and pirate ships and late nights playing games... Daydreaming about swimming in a jungle's waterfall and reading books by the ocean's edge.  Daydreaming about Jill, Mol, Trace...
Maybe something great will start from today's daydream...

Numbers & Codes

"In solitude we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to the details around us."

-Virginia Woolf

My 94-year-old grandma can remember every phone number and every address she's ever had.  She remembers that it was November the 11th 1940 when there was a snowstorm that kept she and her new hubby snowed-in for four days.  She recites lenghty Shakespearean sonnets, remembers the price of a can of tuna during the Depression, and can recall her teachers' names from gradeschool...

Lost

"I am circling around God, around the ancient tower, and I have been circling for a thousand years, and I still don't know if I am a falcon, or a storm, or a great song."

 

Rainer Maria Rilke
