i picked up my head. it had rolled under the bed, and i wasn't dreaming. this wasn't my best head but it was the one i was using just to save time. my time bank was now overflowing with free days and i didn't need it anymore;except that i needed it to find my other heads.
once it was installed i tossed a few heads around in the closet until i found my watercolor head, so i could work; one of the few heads that not only talked to my feelings but even listened. it was my fastest head. i knew better than to wear this one when i was cooking and painting at the same time because time was the last thing i was concerned with. i only wondered what time it was when i was too exhausted to go on. so no cooking today. i could do with a chunk of apple smoked sharp cheddar, a slice of onion and a twist of homemade rye bread. then i could rip off a few bites when my hunger finally broke through to my sailing imagination.

Nice concept though—sometimes it would be very convenient to have different heads for different circumstances—yeah a work head, a play head, etc., etc.

yes, meli :heart: because we have affinity. no imagination, just a mysterious common interest. no we are not growing apart. you are there and i am here that's all. we relate to each other for some reason. i could guess that it is what is called "sphere of influence". and i remember very well, you started it. :lol:yes. you are greek and i love the greek approach to life. so many ways to analyse life and most of them are restrictive. i love the greek sense of freedom. even the favoritism of the gods makes more sense to me than most modern philosophy. and the principle of beauty as a higher aim. when the world is at peace, then higher aims become realities.

I found this very amusing Scott. Reminded me of me sometimes. Never did have a fastest head but it's nice to know I still have my cooking head. I've been cooking up a storm since I moved. It's nice to cook for other people. I'd forgotten how much I liked it. Now if I could only find my organizing head….. I might be able to finish unpacking the last few boxes.
LikeLike
right on pam. so glad to hear from you and that you are happy. :happy:i would venture to guess that if i even had an organizing head that i wouldn't give it the time of day. maybe once a week for a speedy assessment of needs for the future. like shopping for food. i do keep a list. when it's long enough to warrant the market i stop on my way home from somewhere. that's my time saving head. :lol:thanks for the comment. :up: :coffee:
