I loved the surreal feel to this piece. It really brought the theme of it home: that our memories are not perfect and can sometimes be dream-like. :)

Thank you! I wanted to try to create a kaleidoscope of words, with bits of images and memories that would form a fragmented picture. It helped that I was dictating this at twilight, when I'm always at my most contemplative. I'm glad that it worked for you!

This is lovely - I like the concept of making memories of memories of memories. :)

[alycewilson]

Thank you! I look forward to reading your take on "Ashes to Ashes." I almost went for that one, too, but I figured I would probably just end up gushing over Bowie. :)

Love the imagery mixed in with the idea of memories fading and being renewed by meeting with old friends.

[alycewilson]

Thanks! If it weren't for those friends, there are times it would be easy to believe I had simply dreamt my college years. :)

This was a lovely, reflective piece, and explores so many ideas on the theme.

These memories have become my memories, even though I only hold fragments of them.
I particularly liked this part, because it sounds logically unlikely but is absolutely true.

[alycewilson]

Thank you so much. I almost feel as if I've seen the memories my parents have shared with me, when of course, I never have.

[kehlen]

A nice take on the topic :).

Thank you!
