weird things
in the past 15 years i have been treated to sights and sounds that have no explanation. do i hear voices? sometimes, but it isn’t talking in my head, it’s more like eavesdropping on parts of a conversation. actually most of the time it sounds like a lecture and i am standing just far enough away that i hear the louder parts. the sights are unexplainable vignettes of people and places i have never seen but they feel familiar somehow. one that refuses to leave is a brief scene of a woman in a light coloured dress circa the 50’s, leaning up against a wood shingled building, one bent knee with foot pressed against the wall, wearing dark colored flats. dark long wavy hair falls over her shoulder as she looks down on a blonde child playing in the grass at her feet. the other things would probably be categorized as visits although now that would be grounds for having me committed!

a perfect morning
A perfect first day of the year picture. A hint of the morning sky, the last sight of Christmas and jewels in the night sky letting us know that this new day in this new year, is going to be amazing. Happy New Year

The New York Public Library Lets Patrons Check Out Ties, Briefcases & Handbags for Job Interviews | Open Culture
very very cool…
Once upon a time, pubic libraries’ circulating collections were limited to books and other printed materials. Then audio recordings and movies entered into the mix. Telescopes… Board games… There’s a library in Ohio that lets its patrons check out guitars.
