Traveling, like we are at the moment, really emphasizes the temporary nature of all things and, after a lifetime of fussing over "stuff", that's actually a relief. I do feel like a ghost sometimes. A less dramatic word is observer but, you know me, I go for the draaaama. OTOH, I don't feel like a vampire, which is a good thing. :-)<br /><br />asha https://www.blogger.com/profile/13624209187109099166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752461.post-51759963233620896942014-09-23T05:42:47.456-07:002014-09-23T05:42:47.456-07:00As if once you are able to eliminate the imaginary...As if once you are able to eliminate the imaginary and extraneous, this is what's left.

It's not bad, freeing actually, but very odd. asha https://www.blogger.com/profile/13624209187109099166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752461.post-88922348140953438042014-09-22T05:22:57.220-07:002014-09-22T05:22:57.220-07:00I already feel like you splitting your time betwee...I already feel like you splitting your time between Florida and Oregon makes you an expatriate while we here in the "Contiguous Forty-six," from Idaho to shining Alabama deal with tornados and Nascar (anything that goes round and round, I guess) and such.
