I have enjoyed flea markets for decades all over the world. I continue to enjoy them and the interpersonal exchanges. This morning, I overheard someone say, "I truly hate the times we are living in." Those that frequent the flea market rarely are on their phones, scanning the tables and blankets for a treasure. They enjoy the banter and human interaction. Even after they sold me the item, they would say, "that really is a unique piece, isn't it?" Once a treasure is spotted, the ritual of bartering ensues. The seller wants to sell and the buyer wants to buy. This quintessential human interaction of coming to an agreement on price to be paid. I even did this in foreign countries, bartering back and forth scribbling on a scrap of paper. Everything is paid in cash only.

FASCINATING clip...highly recommended I think this explains why so many of us butterflies are no longer related to as caterpillars. Although we are the same physical body, our spirit, our being, and beliefs have changed so radically that others can no longer expect us to be as we were in the past. I remember my Dad and colleagues could not understand when I lost my interest in the NFL and Steelers. I was changed and it was difficult for them to accept the butterfly. This also reinforces my practice of daily journalling. Re-reading my journals from decades ago is beyond enlightening.
