Smells detonate softly in our memory
like poignant land mines hidden under the weedy mass of years.
Hit a tripwire of smell and memories explode all at once.
A complex vision leaps out of the undergrowth.
— Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses
These are my Treasures for the past week.
- Squirrel and Raven are working out how to play so that both of them enjoy it. Teddy Bear Fight!
- License plate: 2H2ODGS (the plate holder said "Portuguese Waterdogs")
- Falling asleep to the sound of rain; waking up to blue skies (even briefly. 🙂
- Cat beside me, kneading the blankets and purring
- Squirrel gradually displacing the computer – my other laptop has fur!
- The doppler effect – listening to the horn as the train goes past
- An orange tree, covered in oranges
- My fun and colorful birthday cake
Treasures are positive things that strike my fancy, that make me feel happy or thankful or interested. Treasures are memories encapsulated in just a few words.
