May I share with you, an example of why I'm so attracted to cyberspace? I looked at the topic for Day 15 - Five Minutes, and thought I'd fire up the search engines to see what "do you remember when" would bring up. Here's how it flowed:
- Of course, out of all the choices Google offered, I was attracted to Jack Johnson's "Do You Remember" . As I listened, I recalled the times in my studio when this song played as we did massages and acupuncture treatments. Sweet memories arose.
- As soon as I heard the lines "Do you remember when we first moved in together? The piano took up the living room," I searched for "piano filled living room" and my favorite picture? The one above.
- In order to give proper credit to the photo, I followed the linked website and discovered Jessica Williams. I've always loved the piano, classical and jazz music, and near the end of the introductory video I learned that she also has synesthesia. Now I want her music to fill my living room.
In five minutes every link I made, tugged at memories and when I followed the trail, it led me to something new and fascinating. Try it yourself. Set a time for Five Minutes, pick a topic, run a Google search and see what memories are accessed and what new connections appear.
Please come back and tell me about them.
