Cal’s gaze swept a bluebird sky. Thalia bathed her face in early morning dew drops she’d collected from wild daisies. Typist counted the appendages of a little friend on her thumb. Urania looked at the clock and asked, “What are you all doing? We have a love letter to write!”
Unclouded indeed! All seemingly clear eyed, too. I have to confess that all my daisies are as dry as popcorn! Not a good sign for this face for some time.
It’s alright if you pass my cell # to Nia for a good pep talk. I came in from watering our yard and feel nearly as wilted as the plants I was watering. I’ve become the captive of a chair but more remains outdoors.
On the subject of memory limitations, some would argue the memories are still intact. It’s retrieval that declines. In cases of dementia we often read of the older person’s accurate recall of past events when they can’t remember what they had for breakfast. That is a storage problem!
“Limitless” is a movie that featured an experimental drug to imbue the person with, well, limitless mental powers. In the movie it wasn’t all just peaches and cream. If I read today that a pharmaceutical giant is ready to begin clinical trials with such a drug I’d not be surprised?🤷🏽
So, rev up your brains! Think of all the good stuff you might find! 🤔
I hope you find this to be an uplifting video, Gail, from one of my favorite podcasters of all time (though this isn't a podcast, rather an interview of Krista Tippett at Google)...hoping so much that you like it:
Unclouded
Counting appendages… Hmmm 🤔 I wonder how many other things we can count? My friend from Sesame Street says there is no limit… Ha, ha! 🧛🏻♂️
