Today, Lilith pretended we were all camping at Mt. Vesuvius. It was the strangest thing. We were in the car, driving out to run errands after picking her up from school. She told us that she wanted to pretend we were camping, and for me to pull up the camping place on a map. (We zoom the nav to somewhere green when she asks for this; I usually choose Griffith Park.) Then she starts telling us that we’re camping in Mt. Vesuvius, and she describes it to us: there are statues everywhere, and the fountains are all black. There are butterflies, too. And caterpillars. And the flowers grow large and beautiful.

I’ve never mentioned Pompeii or Mt. Vesuvius, and I don’t imagine that she’s learned about this in preschool. I haven’t been watching much tv, so I don’t think she picked it up that way. It’s all very strange and weirdly lovely. At the risk of sounding goofy — is this a past life memory?

Like many other kids of the 70’s, my first introduction to Edward Gorey came by way of PBS’ Mystery! I wasn’t much into mysteries at the time, but I loved the intro so much that whenever my parents were about to watch the show, my mom and dad would call me into the room so I could watch the Gorey opening sequence with them.

Good childhood memories.

My emotional connection to this is incredibly strong, and (as silly as it may seem) it’s one of the Pivotal Things that helped shape the woman I am today. When I see it, when I hear the music — it reminds me of how much my parents loved me. Memories of comfort — of being safe, feeling loved, and being inspired — are all inextricably entwined for me with this one little animation.

What are your strongest positive childhood memories?

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul alike. – John Muir
