The days are flying by now. 22 days and a wake up and that big beautiful freedom bird will be coming for me. It just hit me this morning that I need to start packing up my boxes of stuff to send home or store in the shop for next year. Wow, I really am going to get off this frozen rock!
I was going through my picture from the season this morning and I came upon some from the very first of the season. Seems like a life time ago.. Ah...... Nostalgia...
It is funny how the mind works sometime, or maybe it's the memory function. The time keeper in our mind. That ability to place a since of time on a remembered event. It doesn't work in a consistant maner. Well, for me it doesn't. Some memories are placed correctly in that "since of time" while others seem like a life time ago or as if they had just happened when in reality they occured only a few months or weeks or days , ago. I could explore this for hours but all of you would probably think I've lost my mind or maybe found a special crop of medicinal herb here... so I'll continue to ponder this, just in the privacy of my own mind. I'll let you all know if I make a break though.
As I look at some of my pictures from the beginning of the season, they seem like a life time ago. But when I think of home, it seems as if I've just left. ( I thnk maybe the answer, to my mind bender, lays in this example.)
Peace, Love and Coconuts
