Picquoteaday #60

“And the light from a street lamp
Paints a pattern on my wall” – Paul Simon (& Garfunkel)

Yesterday, I had to interrupt dinner for taking this picture. Both bottle and glass (my wife’s, because my wine has a screw cap) are projections on the kitchen wall: the real items are invisible. Perhaps I should have cited Plato, who compared the things around us to projections on the wall of a cave (“reality” consisting in the world of ideas –in which case I’d have had to rephrase the last sentence), but I’d prefer Paul Simon anytime, even if the “street lamp” happens to be the sun.

I’ve predicted that Picquoteaday won’t get a pic from me every day. I haven’t said I’d stop altogether...
