It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
The most interesting for me are the archeological sites. I always think of people who might have lived there, and so many questions come to my mind - were they happy, how did they live, how did they die, so many questions! The past is so intriguing, I wish I could find that time machine already! :))
ReplyDeleteSonja - This is EXACTLY how I feel - I am always wondering, Was this family happy? Did they have a good marriage? Did they laugh a lot? We are so alike - A bit too much alike - If there is such a thing - But I love it!
