The Beginning

The world was simple when I was small

When I think of...
The old house
The sprinkler
Barney Miller
Weeble people
A Super Slide as high as our balcony
Danny Brille standing on the sewer in the backyard
The record player
Pitfall and Ms. Pacman
Manhattan Transfer
Green shag carpet
Swiss Family Robinson
...I am filled with such happiness. And yet

The Spirit hovering over the waters
Is still a mystery to me.
