went to Post Office. I'd let my subscription lapse a while back. a long while, actually….i was in the Evacuation mode…not wanting things i'd need to leave behind. With the collage work, i missed them, the array of images and just pieces of things that become images so i searched through old issues and found an old subscription card and sent. Today this was in the mail. Is this Beauty FULL????? grocery size tote, and BLACK…my favorite color. I'd always been told that my grandfather had all the issues from "the beginning"…and i googled first issue…September 22, 1888. ! ? How then it was a kind of insatiable curiosity about the World….when China was as far away and foreign as Mars. and then there was Mongolia and the Congo. Tibet. They would be interesting to read today. I suppose you can somehow….everything is possible, right? I am assuming that those issues would be very similar to the FACTS about things that were/are in those 1930 edition of the Books of Knowledge that now take up a huge chunk of space at Alyssia's house. So FULL and BRIMMING with Knowledge that is in many instances, quite Wrong. I think about all this. Images come to mind from the Books of Knowledge…the pages, for instance of all the many kinds of sea shells. The Book of Poetry. I need to go look at them. I think how we do that now. Make these statements about how things Are as if we know all there is to know and of course, we don't, but we don't say that. We only know what we know so far. Just so Far. Today.
Meditation Swing Time. Emrie gets in an out on her own now. But it's the same old request…Swing Me!
i am happy to be alive.
