Light matters

A man woke up and lay thinking about nothing

Dark matter.

What is the human equivalent?That most of us are invisible

So he drank some hot tea and scratched the cat’s head with his fingers.

Then as he washed himself  he thought

Dark matter?It may not matter…..

Then he went to his shed in the garden and wrote a short story in the dark.

Because he was blind,you see.

If you are blind there is no darkness.

Or it’s all darkness.

Extremes.

Not quite  a story..but it’s a beginning,so the cat told me

Actually it’s a cheetah pretending to be a cat

And as a matter of fiction,it is a Guardian  angel in training.

And soon wings will grow.

Take off

I found it interesting what my mind was thinking about

I never realized I was interested in windows and mirrors until I wrote this blog.I know that the mirror is a very potent symbol and enjoyed reading,Alice through the looking glass.And I only look into windows because I am curious to see how people design the interior of their home,Maybe we are too secretive.Not that I’d want people peering in at my untidy home.

I know some men used to like watching women open their powder compact and put lipstick on while looking into the mirror…I have seen them smiling as they watch.I rarely wear lipstick because after a few minutes it has gone….I often wonder how others keep it.Maybe I bought it too cheaply.But also I don’t often think of myself as the object of the gaze of another.I almost feel as if I am invisible in a way.Life is strange
