The August Break 2013 - Day 30 - Sign

“Beyond the edge of the world there’s a space where emptiness 

and substance neatly overlap, where past and future form a continuous, endless loop. And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard.” 

― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

The August Break 2013 - Day 29 - Favorite Thing

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Performed by "Maria" (Julie Andrews)

Bun Bun, a favorite thing from my youth.

(Bun Bun came along for knee surgery when I was four, 
and was given her own hospital I.D)
