The olive fixation continues

Seeing red

During an ordinary visit to an ordinary grocery store to pick up ordinary - and overpriced - groceries, I find my eyes and my mind drifting somewhat.

I do this all the time, stare into the corners of the everyday in search of something, anything even, that might grab my eye or squeeze my soul just a little.

I never really know what I’m looking for, but I like to tell myself I’ll know it when I see it.

And so we have the olive jar display at the local Sobeys, a tiny slash of red in the middle of an otherwise ordinary place.

I use that word, ordinary, a lot. Maybe nothing is truly ordinary. Maybe we’re meant to keep looking into corners for inspiration.
