Sometimes I write about how life is a circle,...
Everything always comes back.
Nothing is ever *gone*
once it has been
**yours**.
Some of the objects I miss
that have become lost over the years:
A 7 leaf clover I found when I was 10.
Long before Fry found his in "Futurama",
I did exactly what he did.
I found it in glorious mutated triumph,
pressed it, laminating it between
two pieces of packing tape.
I had it for years, but
it got lost in a move,
along with
a prop flyer from my first ever TV/Movie Extra gig
that was autographed by 2 Oscar winners
(Burt Reynolds, Patty Duke)
[although I most excited about Dan Lauria who was the dad on "The Wonder Years"]
where I played a crippled girl at a tent-revival
on a not-very-popular lightly Christian-themed tv-show
called 'Amazing Grace'
with Burt Reynolds as the slimy preacher.
Another thing I lost was an original NASA released
set of 1969 11"x14" prints (12 in the series) from the Moon Landing.
I bought them at a barn sale for $1/piece.
I thought they were SO COOL!
1969 copies of photos like "Earth Rise"
and "The Footprint" and "Moonwalk"
and "A Triumph of Human Consciousness in an Otherwise Mindless Universe"
(ie: the lunar landscape reflected in Buzz's helmet)
Man, I coulda sold those for BANK this year!
Or enjoyed them for the last 15 years,
but.... alas
they're gone.
So it goes.
And to dust we all return,
etc etc.
Maybe, like the circle they'll come back to me someday?
Somehow?
