If Only You Believe In Miracles -- TBCF Bliensen + MaiTai, EnvyMe, and Paisley Daisy

Sometimes I ponder what our current age would look like if we were able to show it to our great grand parents. I was born in 1968. My mother was born in 1944. I think that means my grandmother on her side of the family was born around 1919.

I believe I've shared before that I'm a History fanatic and I love Sci-Fi as well. I think those are unusually situated across the aisle from one another. History already happened and Sci-Fi is what we think may happen one day.

Electronics and the eventual revolution the field created began around the turn of the 20th century. Lightbulbs were used as part of the new age of electricity when 1899 turned over the calendar to 1900. With each improvement, some people predicted terrible things and others foresaw amazing beauty.

My balance comes more easily when I have a fairly solid understanding of the world around me. I like consistency. I like patterns. I revel in repetition. A side note and bit of irony - I used to be the queen of schedules and consistency, and now I'm the anti-queen. I can't believe how much I've changed.

Our world could look very alien to those great grandparents, kin that were born around the time when electricity changed the world forever. Telegrams, and telephones, ocean liners and airplanes, cash registers and computer account management... each step, from one of these to the next had to appeal to our nature to see something new and strange and fear it or call it a miracle.

I do understand how change inspires fear. I prefer to pursue the possibility of miracles. I don't always understand the technology that flies by me left and right, and I know as I get older, the information speed will continue to increase exponentially. I embrace the radical world we helped create and can't wait to discover the one we have yet to imagine.

If my grandmother could see me, Caryn, a saucy sweet and spicy bit of female pixels and how that Caryn interacted with a world of people, part of her would want to bury it or burn it. The other inquisitive part would sit at my side and learn it. I hope one day, my grand-daughters will be so kind.
