out of nowhere this morning, the poet Zinaida Gippius popped in my head -- why (and how) I can't really say
strange . . . an obscure Russian poet of early 20th Century Russia -- out of nowhere I start thinking of HER
on Wikipedia, I then started reading a passage (because it "lit up to me") she wrote about the Russian Revolution
I then went about my day . . . a couple of hours later, I (suddenly) started thinking of Rasputin . . . (the Russian holy man + mystic with such a profound infuence on the last Russian czar and czarina)
and I decided -- I want to see if there are any videos and this video (as they somehow often do) ALSO "lit up" for me
while watching this video, about 35 minutes into it, what do I hear ??
the quote from Zinaida Gippius that I had read earlier today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WT FUCK
this sort of "startled me" -- and in situations like this, trust me, it takes a LOT to startle me !!
and since I am in my "next door office" -- McDonald's -- because they have higher speed high speed video
WT FUCK # 2
anyway, I was (no doubt) "supposed" to watch this . . . because, the places in the video . . . the palaces, Rasputin's apartment, the sights of St. Petersburg
they are all, somehow, "familiar to me"
yes, what can I say?
a typical day in the Psychic Neighborhood :)
