Escher Goes Colonial May 27, 2008
Posted by carpebanana in : Ramblings , 2commentsI dreamed we were at the new visitor center in Colonial Williamsburg. Seems they made an odd decision and did not go Colonial with the theme for it, but, in fact, the main stairwell there was designed by M. C. Escher.
I saw it wrong and realized I was wrong as I found myself on the bottom side of stairs a few steps from the landing. I grabbed on to the rail and would not let go (remember my dislike of Suddenness) and could not figure out where to put my feet to get back to the landing.
Along came a helpful man with a hymnal and offered to sing me an Easter cantata while we waiting for a CW employee to come and help me out. “No,” I told him, “Sing Psalm 98A instead.”
“That’s the best one,” he agreed, and was still on the first stanza when I figured out where to put my feet and got back to the landing.
I woke up at that point, but I expect I’ll stick to the elevator from now on.
