Hope you like it! Her...Yes, I think she is, Altoon. Hope you like it! Here's a quote from the book to whet your appetite:<br /><br />The world is blue at its edges and in its depths. This is the light that got lost..the blue of the land that seems to be dissolving into the sky, is a deeper, dreamier, melancholy blue, the blue at the farthest reaches of the places where you see for miles, the blue of distance. This light that does not reach us, does not travel the whole distance, the light that gets lost, gives us the beauty of the world, so much of which is the colour blue.billoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10716970909272480118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-28978940944381014262013-03-10T10:14:50.095-04:002013-03-10T10:14:50.095-04:00Paying attention is a part.

For ...Thanks so much for the comments, Nanci and b.<br />For me it's not at all about forgetting, but about paying attention, so that I see more and more; it is about learning, so then becoming more knowledgeable about the world around me. And by that I don't mean academic knowledge, simply visual knowledge.<br />b., I don't know the Soinit book, but will looked it up and she seems to be a very interesting writer, thanks.
