Belated anniversary

Friday, August 23rd marked the end of my fifth year of blogging. Thanks to all of you who've followed me and continue to comment.  

This is what I posted on 8/23/08 and it still holds true today:

 

For the mind, by nature stagey, welds its frame

Tomb-like around each little world of a day.

We jump from picture to picture and cannot follow

the living curve that is breathlessly the same.

— Louis Mac Neice / 1907-1963

What little world?

EACH LITTLE WORLD that collides with mine:

The world of interiors and exteriors; bibliophiles; china and dishing; feasts and fests; food; flowers and gardens; material possessions and textile obsessions; worldly goods and bads.

Your worlds and mine.

Let the collision begin.

. . .

The opening quoted text is the 2nd stanza of Louis Mac Neice's poem, "August," as it appears in A Little Treasury of Modern Poetry.

Belated congratulations, too! So happy you are still posting, though I am slowing down at reading - everything, not just you. Strange year this year - guess it's a transition year for many of us.

Happy anniversary! Here's to another 5 years. . . .

Happy, Happy! Always delighted to see your and Mark's perspectives as practitioners and observers. You make me see and conceptualize differently.

Sorry I am late to the party, but I couldn't stop by without wishing you a happy anniversary. I hope one of your presents was rain.
