Rorschach


My daughter discovered this image when she developed the film from the fortune cookie camera she got for her birthday. Every time I look into this, I see new stories. I told her she had unwittingly made a photographic Rorschach. She said, "Do you see the face?"

  1. I see it.


    How is it possible that we have got our neurons connected like this? So damned improbable. So odd.

    And so welcome.


    I think about quantum entangling and how blurry the borders are between one thing and any other, and I think about the more than twenty years I have spent with my brain snuggled next to my wife's brain at night and in the evening and I am convinced that we share real neural connections. My brain has become dependent upon hers to function.

    It's not a metaphor.

    You know?


    I know you do.


    I think about the people with money, I mean, gobs of it. I think of the people with fame, with power, with all the prizes draped on them by the world at large, and I bet in my heart they'd trade all of it for a single day of being as engaged and real and alive and in love as people like you and I are.

    Pretty stuck up, huh?

    But I f**king mean it.


    I'd bet five dollars on it.

  2. That is so cool. It makes me feel like a twelve year old who says "cool" and really means it. That is so cool.

    She got a camera inside a fortune cookie?!
