Rabbit Holes

Does she still exist? Was she really a fine girl as the song once said? Oh, the amusement of these rabbit holes on the internet. See from here I got to there, coming from one of my old sites still linked in it's current version. Stranger With The Melodies comes to mind.

So many years of links to entries, to my words and others, linked within entries that link to still more entries, pages, poems, prose, words, and sometimes other amusements (how many words is a picture really worth, after all, and how much does that depend on how it is shared, or if it is shared?... if a picture is never seen, is it still worth a thousand words?). My love of the written word has cultivated a massive written garden online (and even more offline, if ever they are seen again), and over the years I have shared so much, a fraction of which is linked in millions of links on tens of thousands of web pages in hundreds of blogs and other web sites. Or as I call them, blogs and other strangers. Each link another rabbit hole that could take hours, days, who knows how long to get to as the linkage may be infinite in this literary maze I've been creating for decades. Sadly, given the nature of the internet, the transience of modern human, and the momentary nature of life itself, many links lead to dead ends, dead links, as they are called. Still, sometimes the diamonds are still found.

When you wake up, will you find, that you're not where you left yourself?
