I have this three-sided kaleidoscope that I bought several decades ago at a fair. It is made out of leaded glass and has four one inch marbles and a glass tube filled with colored glitter that can be mounted to the front to see the kaleidoscope effects.

(Thought it might be simpler to just photograph it.) Like I said, I have had it for decades and it is a shame that I do not remember where or when I bought it.

So, what about this kaleidoscope? I have had several weird dreams lately. The faces and events are sometimes blurred like a bokeh or maybe a kaleidoscope- but I think bokeh or a fog might be closer to my dreams. The backgrounds are blurred and sometimes I can make out a central image. Sometimes it is a single focused image but everything else is blurred, and at other times, everything is blurred. A watercolor in the rain...
Possibly a kaleidoscope comes to mind because I still "see" vivid colors. If I could paint my dreams... That is my present goal. I must finish this year's commitments to the Auxiliary, but I want my life back. I want to paint and write again.
