It wasn’t the black cat staring blankly at the dish on the table that caught my attention but the Name, and year, Danmark, 1973, on the stamp, and seeing I know Denmark is a country in Northern Europe, as I have a dear friend, whom I have not seen for decades now, whose roots are deeply set in that country, I questioned Danmark, and looked it up, to find it is a matter of language and pronunciation, which led me to think of accents, words, communication, and, yes, isn’t that so often reasons why friends separate, or so it seems, and while I pondered on my friend, suddenly it is 1973, when I was drifting, lost at sea, just a few years prior to meeting her, and then I wondered, is the cat even looking at the dish on the table or is it something else she sees but generally speaking, cats avoid water, and I am still wrestling the sea in me, and how strange it is because I finally know my name.
If I were to analyze every stamp, would I ever read the content in the envelope?
Napowrimo. “And now for our prompt – optional, as always! Today, we’d like to encourage you to take a look at @StampsBot, and become inspired by the wide, wonderful, and sometimes wacky world of postage stamps. For example, while it certainly makes sense that China would issue a stamp featuring a panda, it’s less clear to us why the Isle of Man should feel the need to honor 2001: A Space Odyssey in stamp form. From Romanian mushrooms to Sudanese weavers to the Marshall Islands getting far too excited over personal computing, stamps are a quasi-lyrical, quasi-bizarre look into what different cultures (or at least their postal authorities) hold Pointless?
• Danmark is the first stamp in the link, and now I have a yearning for prune danish.

Nice sounding phrase: “cats avoid water, and I am still wrestling the sea in me”
