Is the pond a kaleidoscope,
tumbling, soulless,
into accidental beauty,
or does it
in wistful deliberation
dream itself in Giverny?

Beautiful reflections. I just hope 2021 doesn’t see 2020 when it looks in the mirror. 🙂

Although I laughed, the possibility really isn’t funny. I completely agree with you — the mindgames haven’t been invented yet that will get us through 2021 if it’s like 2020.

Our state numbers are dramatically going up right now so we’re back to hanging really close to home.

That is so scary — and so depressing! It won’t be long before the whole country is completely batty.

I have just finished re-reading ‘Undine’ so your water picture combined with ‘soulless’ made me sigh. I can see the Giverny connection but you really need to add a green bridge.

I just google-skimmed to find out about “Undine,” which was unfamiliar to me, yet at one time I must have known of the myth. Alas, sometimes I think my memory is a myth. There is an eerie connection to this post, for sure. Thank you for the reference; I will try to learn more. Meanwhile, I’ll get busy on that green bridge!

There is one myth I vaguely remember about an island that I often look for among my books. I think I had it, and don’t think it is this one. One of those endless searches (for me, not the story).

Well, darn. I hope some day you find it! Seeking a myth about an island sounds endless indeed. Maybe you could just write your own — it’s really not a bad idea. (I’m good about thinking up work for others.)

I have lost half my shorter Oxford English Dictionary too. The truth is I tend to use the internet these days, so I am just trying to think what it might be propping up.

I have to think that even half a “shorter” OED would be a formidable prop indeed. Much more likely to be found before the elusive myth, I’d guess.
