KALEIDASCOPE
I had one,or access, perhaps, to another's as a child. Have seen a few through the years, on coffee tables, as an adult. There may even be a miniature one hidden away in the flotsam of household collections.
A fascinating trinket with the attraction of the stars in the galaxy, to attract and hold our attention for short periods of time and mesmerize us; to tranquil thoughts much longer.
My sister keeps an old kaleidascope on her living room coffee table ... I never tire of looking through it.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, sparsely-worded, but uber-effective.
ReplyDeleteThis seems quite perfect to me..and very soothing...
ReplyDeleteI've always loved them, and would be tempted to buy one today, if I happened across one!
ReplyDeletenote to self: find your kaleidescaope. Great post!
ReplyDeleteSo trippy, so much cheaper than drugs, and legal too...Without all those messy side-effects. Ha ha.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Rel. My sentiments, exactly.
ReplyDeleteI haven't come across one since childhood - but would love too!
