Who? What? Where? When? Why?

The strangest thing happened to me this morning...there was an image in my head, a memory, that I could not for the life of me place. It was like looking at a scene through a telescope, not a real telescope but the kind I used to make for myself as a kid out of empty cardboard toilet paper rolls. All I could see in my head was the profile of the guy I had been talking to and all I could remember was that I was so distracted by the pattern of hair on his jaw that I had no idea what he was saying. I couldn't recall the rest of his face, where we were when it happened, what his voice sounded like, when it had happened...nothing. It was just a completely disjointed piece of a memory that I couldn't place. That has never happened to me...why did it stick in my head so vividly? Why did it come back so randomly? After about 6 hours of going through my mind thinking of every guy I've talked to in the past few days and it that possibly could have been him I think I placed it but its still hard for me to connect the two memories...the mind is a strange thing.

Here's a few quotes to round out this random post...two of them have shaped my past few days and two of them just make me giggle. I'll leave it up to you to try to determine which is which....

"'my dear,' said the man, 'you cannot control the weather. the more bright and sunny days there are,
the closer you are to cold and dreary ones. it hurts when you think you are
missing the things that have keep you going, but it isnt your fault
princess. the weather has given you many beautiful things as well as the
garden and the flowers that you love so much. the sky will always be there
in beauty for you to observe. it surely feels the same way about you,
princess. you are loved.'"
