The Blind Man Society

In a nature kind of mood today, and rapped out with Mr. Blackbird just a moment ago about flying the family over to my place for drinks this weekend. And in the spirit of inclusion, how’s it going Mr. Tree? What do you say there, Mr. Leaf? Pausing to listen (Communicating with me in tree language)…

WELL. I guess the gang is coming this weekend.

Still sitting here thinking right now, about how clothing colors, and color choices translate to animal counterparts in nature. Growing up I LOVED black and tan. I wore it all the time, drank black and tans at the pub, was a total night owl, and it finally came to me this morning that my animal counterpart might be the leopard. Which, is my favorite big cat anyway!

Have you ever thought about yours?

Well, everybody thinks that Chameleons are the blenders of all time. But, I think that they are the Bruce Lee of color changers. Maybe the Jimi Hendrix. The Octopus and Cuttlefish have elevated color changing and altering appearance to the level of an art form. The Jackie Chans, if you will.

I have written in the past that it is possible to change yourself by changing your handwriting. I was thinking today about color theory, and how it might be possible to do the same with clothing colors….

Well, we are back to Africa for a moment this morning. I know I’ve become like Al Bundy with his four touchdowns in one high school football game with Africa stories, BUT…

I’m sitting here remembering Lesotho, and the mountains there. We were so excited to be there, that we climbed a mountain in one day, slap happy and snarly and laughing by turns. The below photo is from that day…and it was a magic one.

Thinking about calling people Howler Monkeys still this afternoon, and remembering carrying a few slingshots over there too!

So, I’m sitting here thinking about turning hourglasses over. Some, think that once the hourglass runs out, you are outta time. Others, that you turn it over and start again older and wiser.

I still like freezing time by standing in front of the refrigerator late at night, staring vacantly at food and fun things that SHOULD be there. But, are not.

There are several foremost authorities on time running around in this world, I think. One of them, I wrote about in the blog The Time Forest on theblindmansociety.com. If you are looking for a fast, interesting read, check it out!

Have a great day everyone, wherever you may be out in the world! As always, please feel free to leave a comment in the box below….
