Wondering around a drugstore.

Surprising there are no magnifying glasses on every display.

The ingredients of moisturizers, shampoos, soaps, lotions and potions are too numerous to mention and print size on packages too small to (easily ) read!

And what dull copy – lack of stories – about the products from major companies, and what occasionally delightful stories on the small company items.

The story with many major companies seems to be a mystical version of “you’ve seen our name so many times, you better believe this is good stuff!”.

I wonder who cares and if anyone notices.

The lights shone on every paving stone, but nobody was there to see.

We corrected this by holding a party in The Mews, as it was called.

It amused us, dazed others and caused a bunch of new relationships to start out on a good footing.

Some days are even more productive than others.

And, days like these create the world we think many would kindly, dream about.

It’s just not there.

Yesterday we thought the mountains were only a little way away, a bit further than we walked at sundown.

Today they’re not there.

When we returned to our favorite picnic spot the lake had gone.

Our visit to the forest was different because the sky was invisible.

The weather, how bright, how sunny, how cloudy, how misty or how clear – changes the world.

Sealed with a soft wish.

That was the deal of a million barrels, a thousand ingots, a hundred coins.

The new forest of deal-making, in a tender land of wailing ponds and bubbling brooks, is sure to be popular.

Anyone can join in.

You’ll probably meet an old friend there.

Reservations are not necessary.

Drifting.

Whether asleep, half-awake or daydreaming we do not know.

Perhaps the electrodes will send a signal to our quantum computer analysis program. Then, we can set the baseline for further intellectual and emotional progress on a data feedback basis.

Well…it’s a thought.

Or, a fleeting part of a dream, or a whimsical and troubled half-here, half-there interlude.

There is always tomorrow, we expect.
