In the Vanishing Mind...

"On the longest day

The Vanishing mind

Knows not when the day ends (or begins anymore)

Who could care for you

Who could understand... "

from the song- "The Vanishing Mind" by Calexico

I saw an elderly lady on the beach one evening. She was barely hanging onto a post and gazing out to sea. I thought she looked "lost" and needed help. When I approached her, she said to Me "Are you OK, you look lost ?"

We talked for over an hour about the aging mind and brain damage. She read me like she was gazing into a crystal ball. And she blew my mind.

I was streaming this song, "The Vanishing Mind" in my headphones when I met her. And then I continued down the beach, with Trailer dog, still listening to the song. I took this photo the same night, still thinking about the powerful encounter I had with my deep thinking new friend.

So, this is dedicated to my friend, Clista and to our elusive mental powers and Vanishing minds...
