strangeness of everything.

Posted on October 13, 2020 by beth

—

when the strangeness of everything

made it increasingly difficult

to realize the strangeness of anything.

I think if your stunt double was given the rubber ducky, everything would be back to normal…

After I read that, all I thought is: isn’t “Lost Horizon” that magical place hidden away from reality? Wouldn’t it be great to be there right NOW?

I would love to get inside that brain. When people dress up their pets at Halloween, I always wonder what the animals are thinking.😎
