Go ask Alice, I think she'll know, when logic and proportion...............The other side of the looking glass has been my home for many years. The White Knight has talked backwards with me many, many times. It kind of makes me wonder, just what life is like for those that haven't. Growing up in the times that I did and the places I have been have given me such a broad way of thinking. I see things outside the box quite often and when people don't get what I am saying or explaining I don't understand why.
The passing of Robin Williams and watching what he has done in his life has made me think about so much. My intention for this blog is to give an in sight to life or at least to mine, but also to look at normal everyday things in a different way and to see the bright side that may make you smile. I knew a few people, back in the day, that thought on the same kind of wave length that Robin Williams did. Not that they were as funny or as great, but they "got " what he did. Before stand up was stand up and Robin was Robin, I remember riding on the "EL", going nowhere really, with a friend. He took an imaginary balloon out of his pocket and blew it up. Then he set it on the floor and rested his feet on it. He rested his feet there for 2 or 3 stops while people got on and off the train. People walked around his feet floating there in mid air and never said a word. Maybe they couldn't see our faces behind the imaginary newspaper we were reading. Then he picked up his balloon, put it under his arm and we got off of the train. I held onto that balloon for him while we walked around gawking at the tall buildings acting like we were from Hicksville, USA. Those were the days when life was young and free and the world was ours for the asking. Maybe that is why I am affected by his passing to such a degree. We were on the same wave length. We saw things with a child's eye and nativity. And we laughed. Or maybe I am affected that way because the world is also.
