no pics. just got a call from granddaughter, again driving home from work. again, the work is in the United States Navy. from which she is supposed to be getting discharged, but the discharge papers have not been processed. it's months.
anyway.
here i am. having somewhat of a present conflict about How It All Is in the World …post before last, and her call today is to ask about Ayn Rand. Atlas Shrugged. she has ordered it for her kindle that her mother and i got her for a gift a year or so ago.
she is asking because she is going through a mile high pile of paper work. it's her job. she works in decision making for the Navy Reserve. and she said that for some unknown reason, a certain letter appeared a couple times at the top of the pile. it was a letter from a Navy person who was requesting a simple discharge from the Navy, from the Navy Reserve. his particular commanding officer was opposed to this and wanted a less than desirable discharge. so it was in her hands to ferry this request through HER superior who would make the decision. and why she was calling me was that in this man's request, which she said was like a many paged letter, were quotes from this book, Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand. she said it was a very UnOridinary letter and she didn't know about this book, this author. WHO?, she asked was this author? did i know.
HOW AMAZING IS THIS??????????????????
so…just to put this here. which is now my "journal", which should be exclusively Cloth, but then included Goats and sometimes also seems to want to include LIFE, to document this moment. She is 24 years old. Her mother and i have referred to her as The Bloom. me the root, her mom the plant, but Alyssia, the Bloom. and so it is. I told her it's not an easy book to read. will take some work. she said OK. so she and i together will read Atlas Shrugged. how amazing is that.
