five things I love
1. etymology; the wondrous thing about this is that words of common use often (mostly) have completely obscured origins - uncovering the roots of these opens up entire universes for me - words then have sparkly new meanings and possibilities.
2. Watching people; imagining how they are 'outer expressions of an inner state' of my own; asking - What part of me is this?
Yes, its self-indulgent, and I still love it.
3. running into people in the course of a day, whom I'd 'thought of' briefly only a short while prior to the 'chance meeting' - synchronicity! A game, I suppose, is to deliberately 'think' of long-gone aquaintences and watch how they show up 'unexpectedly'.
4. brass bands; what more can I say?
5. Shoes that are not black or white; maybe this is a 90's thing - from hanging with 'the beautiful people' (who must wear the right shade of black) - now when I see coloured shoes I'm delighted. Black is so boring. White shoes are just tacky.
