Mercantile Middle & North Room Continued

Here are more photos of the Mercantile, this time taken in the Middle section as well as the North Room. Open Monday thru Saturday 10-6, Sunday 12-5! Come visit and be amazed—145 Pioneer Parkway East in Springfield, Oregon! Ignore that dark opening into the back storage space. Were a fan not set up, you’d see a beaded curtain. Note that this more shabby chic zone was once called “the library”. My space, which is by no means “chic”, is just west of this area.

I am a Wordpress rookie. As promised, come hell or high water, I finally got my “baby blog” going. For the time being, it is not interactive. No, it’s just a place for me to share my written words, and for others to take what they like, and leave the rest. At the start of this endeavor I am almost 66 years old. Allegedly “retired”, I never lack for inspiration in a world pulsing with options...and distractions. I’ve never understood the concept of boredom. While for some it is regarded as an unavoidable reality, I seem to teeter toward an intolerance of it. And, as a person who seeks compassion, I know that condescension besmirches my soul. We are all different, wired as we are by our respective predispositions, the environment we’re birthed into, as well as all future pit stops and destinations. This word ramble on the matter of boredom reminds me of journaling back in the seventies, e.g., when I took an Introduction to Philosophy course... Were I enrolled in said class today, all of the above pros would likely be entered into the journal. Now, as then, I would not necessarily reach any conclusions; but I’d do a spectacular job of contemplating...the contemplation!
