"For us, our house is not insentient matter—it has a heart, and a soul, and eyes to see us with; and approvals, and solicitudes, and deep sympathies; it is of us, and we are in its confidence, and live in its grace and in the peace of its benediction. We never come home from an absence that its face does not light up and speak out its eloquent welcome—and we can not enter it unmoved."
—Mark Twain, 1896

Disconnected

Since I’ve been a bit disconnected, I took a walk along the road that meanders through the mountain that skirts the perimeter of our neighborhood and the Scholfield Creek. Once there, I was able to breathe-in enough magic fairy-dust to skip into an uninterrupted conversation with myself, completely mystifying Ozzy, who was by this time, standing at attention in total stupefaction.

I love that I can have a most delicious verbal monologue, and passers-by don‘t even give me a second glance.
Such are the perks of old age and living in a small town! A dissociated mindset, that if I am forced to admit, does NOT, in the least, make me feel self-conscious.
