Asakiyume mita

Here is how the sun comes in winter: its light inches its way down the trees. And it leaves the same way, rolling back up those trees:



And this is what the rain does: it makes a stream across the common



And it makes the marshlands claim to be ponds



Two other things

Thing one is a link to a brief video about Hans Panschar, a German artist who puts tiny sculptures in bottles and then throws them into the sea, along with a letter, asking people who find them to get in touch. So far three people have.

Thing two is this random thought: wouldn't it be cool if Han Solo were a woman? I think I would like if the wise-cracking, cynical but-with-a-good-heart pilot who helps out Luke Skywalker were a woman. I think I'd like how that changed up the dynamics of everybody's relationships ... I'm not particularly a Star Wars fan--in fact, the only movie I ever really liked was the first one. I don't know why the thought occurred to me, but there it is.
