"It felt like I’d suddenly side-stepped into a parallel universe..."

I felt this too. I was in Michigan over the weekend to visit my Grandmother and it's rural so no internet. Plus my grandmother can't see well anymore so she doesn't get a newspaper and doesn't see or hear the TV good so doesn't watch it, so we usually don't either.

So I was in your irrelevant parallel universe bubble. No presidential hopefuls lying and spreading rumors. No pounding the bad economy down my throat from every media outlet. The world could have ended and as long as it took it's time reaching us, we were happy in our isolation. She lives in this bubble every day - damn - I'm so jealous.

We had just the quiet, watched the deer walk in the yard and looked at the beautiful fall colors as we gazed out the windows. Played a few games of cribbage when she was up to it. When she napped I read. That requires no wireless feed or computer. Just a comfy chair, oh maybe a beer or two, which lead to the book laying on my fat tummy and a couple of naps. I was depressed to come home yesterday.

I like your money is just energy thought. What a great way to stretch my meager cash flow out. I'm going to send some of that energy along to some of my creditors this month. I hope they know how to convert it back into money so they credit my accounts properly.

Thanks for the comments folks.
Jimmy, The Big Picture was supposed to be a metaphor for your life. Sorry if that didn't translate too well. Clearly I need to work on my metaphors.

And for the record, you always carry your camera with you.

When you spend every waking moment immersed in the photographic universe, all your energies are spent crafting the Big Picture, the one lifetime shot that defines you as a person. As with all photographs though, the problem is that the Big Picture often doesn’t turn out as well as the image you originally visualised in your head, perhaps because of lack of knowledge but mostly because of external influences that have compromised your vision.

Wow! There's a mouthful!

Personally, I don't ever give a thought to pre-visualizing that "one lifetime shot that defines me..." Or most any other shots for that matter. I spend my time (and thoughts) preparing myself for it/them... if and when it/they ever comes along. I'm guessing that singular shot (or commonly-themed set of shots) are mostly about being in the right place at the right time in the right circumstances with the right subject(s) in front of your lens. I'm also guessing that luck, kismet, and serendipity might play a significant roles in any of this sort of stuff happening.

If I ever find myself facing that "big picture" shot I'm gonna be ready for it. Providing, of course, I have a camera with me.

A major point to keep in mind is that the folks who are predicting doom and gloom and sight sky falling number are the same folk who brought us Y2K!! I take all the information that there bringing us a take it with a bag of salt (and I’m on a Sodium restricted diet). It’s the days brought to us as a gift to make of it what we will. Like with the images we take, add the model and your sure to create something different that you originally had in mind. Take it as a gift from the universe and quit looking at your belly-button. And as for your rants, I think I speak for everybody here to say we take that with a grain of salt as well. Everybody is entitled to an off day tumor or not. Have a good one Lin!!

I woke this morning to the autumn world you describe PLUS a rainbow. It made me think of the Muppets' song, "The Rainbow Connection"...Why am I always following rainbows?...the lover, the dreamer, and me.

It's the poet/artist/lover in us, Lin.
