Thank you. I did indeed get something from all of them. Psychometry is a fascinating concept. The latent electromagnetic properties of matter make it plausible that objects could be “recording” devices, in a similar way to a C90 tape for instance. The fact that we can create holograms out of the mere interplay of light makes the idea that an object can hold emotions, impressions, images etc, seem less woo-woo. I mean, books, photos, DVDs, computer files do this anyway, we just haven’t cracked all the codes yet to understand how talismans (or curses) really work. And you managed to wrap it all up in words as sumptuous as Kate Bush lyrics.
It’s so true about hearts ♥️ and stars 🌟, but function is always so much more than structure. A star can be a measly piece of sticky paper to reward a child, or it can be a great ball of (life giving) fire - but when it is something to wish upon, that transcends all structure. The heart can be us agreeing (wholeheartedly) with someone on Facebook, or an amazingly complex (life giving) pump - but when it is something to follow, it is much much more.
Appreciate your comments. I should read more really about the history of the symbolism of hearts, stars too because I do find it interesting how the beating thing in our chest becomes synonymous with love. Why it was chosen.
And just as they’ve become used as you say to increasingly shallow ends (ie liking social media posts), has this synchronised at all with growing human insensitivity?
The first and the last are very clever in their expression and I love the way you put your thoughts out there.
Walking particularly struck a chord for me and echoed my thoughts in my diary entry for yesterday x
Yes, same old same old, eh, Rachel? Gets boring doesn’t it?
I always put my heart on my sleeve, I know.
Love to you xx
