the elusive boundaries of our origin

If i could only have 1 super power it would be to fly. (If I could have 2, I would add invisibility. Just sayin'.)

Doesn't everyone wish they could fly?

Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation.

Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. 

It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire

 to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin.

our eyes permit

I learned to read when I was 4. I wasn't particularly precocious, just curious, and fortunate enough to have a big sister to teach me. I specifically remember learning the word look, and that the two "oo"s looked like eyes...for looking.

I've been looking my whole life. There's so much to see.

Look at these autumnal images, all from etsy:

  While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph 

can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, 

there is another in which it proves to us 

how little our eyes permit us to see.

Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--

I found these lovely, slightly bizarre photos on Dripbook.com. I love their quirky other-ness, their not-quite-rightness.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing-wax --
Of cabbages -- and kings --
And why the sea is boiling hot --
And whether pigs have wings."

-Lewis Carroll
