Hi. I am learning a new way to share song selections that will complement this reading. Shall I see if it has yet worked or continue writing? You know what I am picturing right now? Me, with a Romper Room magnifying glass, and I can see you, The Reader. Only, I don't know if you are hearing the song. So, my first point will be...
1. Never name a blog 'The Puzzle'.
After seven hours, I will be on the road. In spite of my desire to sleep through the journey, I will have attained a double long espresso. There is no Starbucks at my destination...yet, I will still fall asleep. I am guessing this will occur somewhere after Sudbury. The ability to look at the face of a rock before thinking of other things is temporal. If you don't understand, try it sometime. It begins as a phenomenon. Then, you find the dark night of your soul.
I will probably have some kind of imaginary,censored romance, which is a relief. It was apprehensible that my inclination would be to imagine a Star Trek type setting. If that was the case, I might become suicidal. That would be unfortunate, considering all I have endured. I could hardly find it just to say that my life ended b/c along my journey all I could visualize was a 1950s sitcom. "There were so many other things that have happened but it was The Canadian Shield that led to my demise". I don't think so. That would be an oxymoron. Among other things. But I have a pillow that reads 'Beautyrest', waiting at home for me.
Yes, it is true. As I face a melodramatic moment at 5am, where I contemplate the purpose of my life, I find I am insatiably in love with an inanimate object. It's not here right now. As I continue along the road that leads me closer to that pillow, my word of consolence to you is: I once collected teddy bears. Then I got a puppy who was so cute, the teddy bears made no sense. I gave them away (except for the ones from Starbucks). It's quite possible we will one day look back at this blog, and smile. My BeautyRest Pillow could be replaced by a Prince.
*whistle* Why didn't I just bring the pillow with me?
