Well, Doug, the I to You is active - I was listening first, then looking at
things close at hand, then toward the window where Buddha was sunning
himself ... the music changed so I mentioned that, and then the neighbours
(we live in a duplex) were backing their car out and I knew there was a bee
on the driveway so I addressed them, and finally expressed surprise at all
the threads of events that things led me to remember. That's all.
It was absolutely a 'snap', just me enjoying playing with words.
