I read this quote this morning while looking for something to write about “magnify” — the JusJoJan prompt for the day:
If you stare at suds, you’ll go crazy. But in soap suds, you’ll find bubble cubes and many other forms. I just take those things, magnify them and sometimes blow smoke inside it so you can see it better.
~~Tom Noddy
Who is Tom Noddy, you ask? According to Wikipedia, “Tom Noddy is the stage name of Tom McAllister, an American entertainer whose television performances of “Bubble Magic” with soap bubbles in the early 1980s led to a book deal and “Bubble Festivals” at science centers across America. He is the originator of a large number of bubble magic tricks now performed by entertainers around the world.“
He found something that fascinated him and he looked at it every which way. It’s funny because just the other day, I had said to someone that I didn’t need to travel the world for a vacation. I could spend a whole day or week even staring at one tidal pool.
Which I did one day in August at the Bay of Fundy.
How could I not love watching that?
