go ask alice
I have questions!
Questions like:
— should I be bothered that I know Grace Slick is eighty five years old?
— is it true that One pill makes you larger, And one pill makes you small, And the ones that mother gives you, Don't do anything at all, and what does this say about mother?
— why was the eponymous novel on my reading list?
— what is she looking at?
— do the digital imaging devices in mobile phones and mistaken for cameras have to be a bit rubbish at some things when they are good at others?
— why does Professor Alice ask her questions differently and how is she going to get out of her 13.8 billion year monologue without it just fizzling out?
No. Motherhood; there's a tough gig. It was supposed to help me understand the teenage psyche; whatever. Perhaps she thinks she knows me. Hmm, like taking a knife to a gunfight. Nature is unguided; why should Alice get off lightly?
I'm rarely tempted into the Big Smoke after dark — all raucous mating rituals, bad music, vomit on the pavement, that sort of thing. At least when I was younger the music was good! But coming out for Alice? That's another question.
Always inclined to learn something new every day, I thought to try the little "button" marked "x0.6" — wide angle, they say. So I pushed that button. Frankly, it's a bit rubbish. There's an excuse — I think "they" say it's a "design feature" — that it combines a low res wider image with the better bit in the middle. Once I had one of these devices with an optical zoom lens. Now, we get digital mumbo jumbo. It disappoints so much that maybe I'll never push that button again!
Yes, I did answer a question with a question! Over a couple of well-presented hours of events from deep time to just yesterday Professor Roberts logically lead from this to that. Like history itself, her story simply followed the footprints in the sand. That's all good. But every story needs an ending. Hers? Just make some time and space for Nature, and be kind to each other.
