Liberty... that was the word that was threading through Simmy's mind this morning. "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
"This must be what my folks are experiencing these day," mumbled Simmy. "They're experiencing liberty and I'm trying to wade through the lack of liberty I was given as a child and I'm wondering how to knit those two, that square and circle together."
Simmy had read a little bit about Thomas Hobbes this morning, which, of course, led her to think of Calvin, from her novel... (just make the leap even if you don't understand how I got there) Calvin is a cameraman.
This, of course, led her to think about, and mentally write a scene where Calvin is the brunt of jokes with the parallel personage of 'Calvin and Hobbes' being aligned to his personality. Sacrilege!
Calvin the cameraman, will, of course, be offended that he is not given his due respect and seen as a rebel. After all, he does view life from his circular lens standpoint. And, he knows that the filmed image passes through a rectangular opening just before the film plane creating this rectangular image because part of what the lens is transmitting is blocked.
This understanding, of course, helps Calvin to know that Lucy and Ethel are often hiding things that would make their character flaws evident...
("Calvin was quite used to the stagey duo and wasn't much surprised by any lack of propriety. "Don, Bart, and I were were working on the 'Set' so it would be picture perfect when J.P. wanted to shoot." Calvin looked up with a steady gaze and calmly swung his eyes back and forth, much like a fisherman gently moves his line on a hot summer afternoon. He just met their emotional bluster with his steady gaze. His 'behind the scenes' position left him out of the fracas, but he didn't mind shedding some light into a dark corner every now and then.") Taken from April scene- 'Soup Reveal'
So, reversing the image, should make the liberty of the circle... squared up? Pun intended.
