After yet another dreamless night (an alarming confession for this dream-obsessed pillow-majordomo —
how many such bottomless nights?), today I awoke with a photo in front of my mind, ‘
Knots’ (by ©gauduchon). It was one of several that captivated me last night as I happily discovered the Onexposure photography website (
http://1x.com/?viewpic=29200).
Yet, curiously enough, of the handful of images that I tagged as personal ‘Favorites’ on the site, it was the only I did not save to my alembic (also known as my PC). Perhaps the night was not as dreamless as I feared and at some point I did download it to my internal dreambase. And when I awoke, there it was, no there
she was, complete with a name, not given to her by the photographer gauduchon or by 1x.com. No, one apparently assigned to her in the dreambase: “Xmo – the knotted muse”.
So what might she mean, this knotted muse that has come visiting upon a tongue-tied bard, a dream-stalled alchemist’s majordomo? Not sure, not sure at all. But perhaps she offers a path to follow back into my dreams. In the meantime, I will continue prowling (in a nice way I mean, no copyright poaching intended) through the Onexposure site and enthusiastically recommend all of you do so as well (
http://1x.com/). I will gratefully use many of the images posted there on this pillow.
