time to paint

I leave the television going for language immersion. I walked into the kitchen (the TV supplanted the microwave when I was sick) and saw a close-up of frilly lettuce leaves. For a moment my brain had it all converted into negative painting, lights and darks, shades of green. I thought, in that moment, that I was looking at a close-up of a work of art.

Perhaps I was.

Put a worm in there, for Thumper.

Wow, total immersion into being a vegetarian reflected through seeing lettuce as a artistic vision!

BTW, Sarah, wont Thumper be vegetarian? Tiger slugs for our family, not worms! Big, fat - almost causing her mother to vomit - Tiger slugs! Right, T? :-) No wonder you are vegetarian now! It would have been much better cooked...
