Lost Treasure

A drawing from Kathy

Almost twelve years ago I lost a drawing Kathy made. Times have come and gone since then where I’ve longed to look at it again and remember what it was like the first time I saw it.

The night I saw it for the first time was one of those moments that becomes a nexus point through which all memories before and after must flow. That night shines so bright in the memoryscape that other memories near it have faded. From that moment on our friendship was unhinged and a new wilder energy flowed through everything between us.

I’ve been schlepping decades of computer junk (RSX-11M+ manual anyone?) from city to city, and home to home. Tonight I began the effort of taking it all apart, sorting it and getting it ready for disposal. I can’t believe I lucked upon an unlabeled floppy from March 27th, 1995 that had this image the whole time.
