Paper Crane

In google reader - photography, there is a "HELLO" blog.

http://www.mylalaland.com/hello/000869.html

I found this blog - nothing more than a list of pictures plastered to the screen to be scrolled over an forgotten. Dragging through the list of pictures, there is one. Two soft cranes, sitting gracefully on the budding branches. It's barely in focus. Easy to skip passed, but held in my memory. If the scroller was so inclined to click the image there is a comment. A few lines, flat on the page. A picture is worth a thousand words, not one of which will do it any justice. It is a mundane comment, simple and tired. Is it meaningless or is that what makes it worth reading? How many people think only emense thoughts, sit and ponder only the questions of philosophy and the mysteries of life? Did the great thinkers never consider the small things?

David was thinking about whether or not he remembered to brush his teeth.

Oh, David. Who thought only about brushing his teeth.

One wonders what he will amount to if all he ever thinks about it dental hygiene...

You know, I didn't even think about reading the text under the cranes until you mentioned it. I still haven't read it and most likely won't because I'm suppose to be listening to Paul, but I'm not. But yes, the cranes were very nice.
