I can testify to iguanas falling out of trees. It is so hot here now they are multiplying like rabbits. The young ones are cute and bright green as they age they turn into dragonlike creature with spikes and eat any flower I try to grow. So enjoy your post and your strength to get through the times you are now living.
love the iguana! and the order of nouns...so many details that we must master to be " functional" in this broken world. you are amazing and we honor you.
“You can put up a front, but not a new frontal lobe.” This line is fraught with earth-shaking significance, and then your description of not being able to read or write brings your lucky readers into your post-injury world. What a zany, mixed up mental state that must have been! Thank you for your guided tour of bewilderment, including your colorful description of learning word sequences backward and your observation that you have not had any use for that skill ever since.
I took my first around the world trip in 2018 along with several more than half way around to Asia via Europe and the Middle East and back, I’ve completed my fourth circumnavigation in less than 10 years.
The 2018 trip was Hong Kong - Kathmandu and Western Nepal for the Himalayan Writers Workshop. HWW started my path as a writer. My second HWW with my family in 2022 sealed the deal as a writer and Book Passage Travel Writers Conference in Corte Madera polished both me and my writing.
I haven’t mentioned photography. I am a bird photographer and have expanded to people photography, travel photography. Taking photos allows me to study light, which is my passion, studying light, slowly gaining insight you might say.
Your comment about Einstein. I have a beef with Einstein and his theories about light. I’m working on a book about light and its meaning for all of us.
I have a question for you. As a writer how do you deal with a subject that is far outside people’s general knowledge? My challenge about writing about light is it quickly gets into the guts of physics and I know just the sound of that word sends some readers into mental lockdown and leaves almost all of them shaking their heads. Whaaat?
Any hints, tips, sage advice.
I’m also an infodumper (demonstration above)
A new interest is exploring the world through a neurodivergent lens. So, I’ve discovered myself. A profoundly gifted, infodumper who pebbles.
And with that I’ll close. But you seem to be a person I would like to know. Um, probably a few pebbles coming your way. 😉
Each time I read one of your posts, I crack up with mirth at your delightful phrases and descriptive wording, and get a pang of sadness at the same time. A twisty-turny life journey, for sure. Thanks for sharing it with us, Judith.

Reptile dysfunction-I love it!

What can I say?? 'ust keep moving (nonliterally) forward regardless that it may be sideways!!!
What I just don’t believe about this story is the part where you say you haven’t won a Pulitzer. That’s not believable. Sorry.
Wow! Thank you! I never use exclamation points. But your words elicit them. I'd like to know more about you.
