Daydreams and Muses

Books from my childhood

"It is difficult to obtain the friendship of a cat. It is a philosophical animal… one that does not place its affections thoughtlessly."

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."

I found a ghost town while driving though the midwest. I spent the day wading through dead grass and exploring the vacant homes.  A rusty water tower lay on the outskirts of the town and the yards were littered with old cars.

The stone lay innocuously on the linoleum floor. The human female with the camera thought nothing of the offending object, but Sherlock suspected otherwise. The stone was important. In what regard was yet to be discovered. Perhaps a small ‘hunting’ exercise was in order to fully assess the situation.

"What are you doing?" the human female questioned, cooing fondly as though to a small child. "Silly puss, it’s just a little stone."
