Walked via Cromwell Road & Abbotsbury Road. Had hoped to catch a bus. Missed the No.3 but caught the No.8 after zen-like photo opportunity hit my eye ........
( see my blog - " i-less in dorset.")....

COLD SEA-FOGS. NO HORIZON AT CONVERGENCE OF SEA &SKY. i TAKE PHOTO OF SUN FOR ALEX MYDDELTON, FOR WHEN I SEE HIM. SUN IN MY HEART KNOWS WHERE TO FIND A LIKE-IMAGE...ALEX ROLLS ONE, OUTSIDE HIS SHOP, ON THE STREET. A YOUNG WOMAN, W/ PUSHCHAIR (& BABY), STOPS TO CHAT...EVENTUALLY ENTERS SHOP. JUST THE 3 OF US. THE YOUNG WOMAN GOES TO THE "NEW" VINYL RECORD SECTION AND STRAIGHT-AWAY HOOKS-OUT OTIS REDDING. SHE'S GONNA BUY IT IMMEDIATELY - O.R. IS HER ALL-TIME FAVOURITE. I TELL THEM THAT "SITTING ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY" WAS MY FAVE IN 1968, BONTDDU, WALES...i WAS 20. FIRST TIME AWAY FROM HOME. NEITHER ALEX NOR GEMMA (THE YOUNG WOMAN), WERE EVEN TWINKLES IN THAT PROVERBIAL EYE..........*.......EVENTUALLY, GEMMA LOOKS UP FROM HER BROWSING AND SAYS,"ARE YOU CHRIS?"...."NO" i REPLY," THAT'S MY BROTHER'S NAME, BUT HE LIVES IN MELBOURNE, IN OZ."....."WHAT'S YOUR NAME ? THEN," SHE ASKS.....i TELL HER MY NAME IS "BERNARD", ADDING - " AND WHO IS CHRIS ?"..."I DON'T KNOW ," SHE SAYS, "I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS YOUR NAME."

a curious misapprehension i'll grant you... but had she overheard you mention my name?
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY NO MENTION OF YOUR NAME, KRIS. NEVER MET HER BEFORE. NO CONVERSATIONS GOING ON. IT WAS REALLY STRANGE. OF COURSE, HAVE LEARNED THAT THESE SYNCHRONICITIES DO OCCUR - IT SEEMS TO BE THE NATURE OF THINGS IN OR LIVES/IN OUR WORLD WHEN ONE IS TRULY TUNED-IN....
