What have you seen that shook you to your foundations...

...and you don’t know why?

For me, it was Picasso’s Woman Ironing. It is, after all, by Picasso, who is considered great for a reason.

I came upon it unexpectedly in the museum and the painting reached out and seized me by the shoulders and would not let me go. Oblivious to any who might have thought me a fool or demented, I stood there and wept.

I still could not give you reasons. It just touched where I lived.

Yours?

ComfortablyNumb (and I spent years that way) your name reminds me of the favorite t-shirt I ever owned. It got very old and I had to put it down. On the front it read ‘pleasantly confused’ and on the back, ‘I don’t know where we’ve been but it’s been a lovely afternoon.’
