Free quality entertainment - any time anywhere (no batteries required)


Instructions:

1 - read this quote from Proust:

“A thing which we saw, a book we read at a certain period does not merely remain forever conjoined to what existed then around us; it remains also faithfully united to what we ourselves then were and thereafter it can be handled only by the sensibility, the personality that were then ours... So that my personality of today may be compared to an abandoned quarry, which supposes everything it contains to be uniform and monotonous, but from which memory, selecting here and there, can, like some Greek Sculptor, extract innumerable statues.”

2 - turn on the radio or flick through a file of old letters or dig out some photos.

3 – turn off the radio and indulge - story tell to yaself, relive it...

4 - *sigh*, wipe away the tears and return to your everyday mundanity.

5 – confused...? need a worked example? – see the previous Blog (The Daydream Scene)
