"She's Leaving Home. Bye, Bye"
digital collage by Mick Mather

After finishing today's post this wonderfully melancholy melody from the Beatles Sgt Pepper album began to insert itself in my mind. I'm uncertain of it's significance within the wider scope of change that's not only happening to me, but to millions of others all over the world. The song itself is sad and rife with implications of some dreadful, weighty secret ... too, there's a sliver of hope that all challenging turmoil brings with it. I'm looking for a silver lining.

Thursday Challenge: Fun -

"Selfportrait of the Artist as the Fifth Beatle"
digital collage by Mick Mather

This week's theme at Thursday Challenge is fun. I remember well those heady days of the British Invasion and especially recall The Beatles saying during more than one of their interviews that it was a rare day on tour when they could simply relax and have fun. Also, at the time, there were lots of people who wanted to be as closely associated with the group as possible - i.e. disk jockey Murray The K - to the point of referencing themselves as "The Fifth Beatle". Well, sorry, Charlie! That honor, then as now, went to me and me alone! :D
