Today’s Photohunt theme is “Wrinkled.”
And that’s how time feels to me, suddenly. Like it’s been wrinkled. Or folded like an accordion.
Like it is filled with the skips in an old, worn record. The vinyl spins over and over and the details of the songs are faded; sometimes, even large sections of lyric are missing. I’m left with sudden, blurted words and jolting rhythms that hop from one point to the next…

Will the folds between the wrinkles be deeper the older I get?
Will the skips in the record become so broad that the melody is lost almost entirely?
Have to find a way to hold on to the details… I like this song too much.

Love the pictures, and love the take on the theme “Wrinkled”… I would have Photoshopped a picture of Magda’s (There’s Something About Mary) boobs on my body and complained about the advanced signs of aging.
Brayden is SUCH a honey!

I’ve got wrinkled parts that no amount ironing could ever smooth out. Sigh.

I don’t see my comment, and I don’t remember if you have them moderated or no. Just in case, I loved your approach to ‘wrinkled’. Very original!

beautiful. i used to be a forgetter. (not sure that’s a word…) some things from my past i intentionally blocked out because of the way they made me feel. and some things just didn’t seem important enough to remember. recently a friend was telling me about a significant event that happened between us and i only had vague memories of it. she remembered it with clarity. i was ashamed of my behavior so i elected not to remember it. now i wish i could remember it all. i think it would give great incite into who i am today.
brayden is adorable!

I haven’t seen any wrinkles here Lotus, but it’s a wonderful take on the theme! I know about the wrinkles, but I think ( I am sure) the melody will remain!
See you tomorrow for WW! Bye now!

Just think of this blog and these posts as your ‘iron’. Or think of them as the penny on the record arm - holding the needle firmly against the record.

Okay, here is the difference between you and me. I think life is a wrinkle in time — wonder how to show that, move on. You think of life as a wrinkle in time and then put together a great slide show showing that. Wonderful mind, great photos. You are holding on to the song with each picture with each writing and you do it so well. Have a great weekend — enjoy the part of the song — it is sweet.

Don’t forget that heart doesn’t have wrinkles!
Wrinkles have their own beauty!

I’m definitely a forgetter. It started in childhood (we’ve discussed this I think). Now I find that if I want to keep something I have to work hard to do it. Photos definitely help.
I loved seeing these - I was just looking at your maternity photos a little while ago smiling at the funny ones and sighing at the wonderfulness of it all.
Guess what - that first photo - I still have that rocking chair.
Love,

You’ve already found a way to hold onto the details. They’re all perfectly preserved on this blog. When you eventually give up blogging, you can print out the pages and have them bound into a book to pass on to your descendants. Maybe they will continue the book with their own stories. History will be made.

Love these pictures, esp. you in the black dress & you pregnant. Beautimous!

What a fantastic idea to tell your story through pictures! You should ‘love this song too much’. It’s got a lovely melody! Cheers!

In my experience, the older I get and the more wrinkles appear, the more I use PhotoShop on pictures of me!
Just kidding — wondering about wrinkles causes wrinkles in my opinion so I just don’t wonder or worry about them. Great photos once again.
