In search of lost time-insha'Allah.

 
Redintegration. Go ahead and look it up if  you need to.  I had to. 

 
"I had recognized the taste of the crumb of madeleine soaked in her concoction of lime-flowers which my aunt used to give to me. Immediately the old grey house upon the street, where her room was, rose up like the scenery of a theatre to attach itself to the little pavilion, opening on to the garden, which had been built out behind it for my parents."~Proust.  {Remembrances of Things Past.}

Retrieval.

It is said, that long term memories are stored in dream format.  What do you think?

I am inspired to paint again.  I am going to organize my materials and spill them out of my skull and onto the canvas.  Ideas have been bursting at the seams since my return from Jordan but alas life needs tending to.  Even my photography has taken a back seat to my career and other things.  I will pick up my camera today also-insha' Allah.

I need to be reading Proust I think.  I liked that snippet which I found today. This morning saw my daughter skipping off to fetch the mail- yes on a Sunday.  We leave it in the CMB all week and then gather it up all at once.  A happy yellow package was handed over to me. Thank you Christine, you put a big smile on my face while I sipped my Earl Grey and listened to the birds chirping.  You Are A Light. xoxo

I too am in search of lost time. I am starting to regret all the time I spend at work, which doesn't bring me joy or peace or even a sense of accomplishment, it just keeps me from doing the things that do. I love coming here too, but I still miss you like crazy. xoxo

Marcel knew something about redintigration. As do you, mon Bleux. A mockingbird's song. A mermaid. A shell.
