  • Making Sense of Scents

    Discovering the scents of the Cavern has been an interesting discovery. Making Scents that are useful and appealing is something else. But the mystery that has unraveled as I journeyed through the Aromatic Ages -- that has led me to places I didn't know could exist.

Cavern Reopens!

February 8, 2010
Is it really true?  I have to go find out.
Rats, my KI isn’t working now.   That’s odd.  It worked a couple months ago…  Hmmm, maybe that earthquake shook a relay and the frequency shifted slightly.  We’ll see whether a new one fixes the issue.
Yes it does!  Hey, and there are others here! People [...]

Chapter 5 The Box, p. 536

I should not have taken the box.  That really gave it away.  Removing some of the material from the Little Box may have certainly made someone suspicious, but that could have been a fluke, to them at least.   A wander — no.  I keep coming back to the fact that a wanderer would have taken [...]

Recent Past: Following nasal memories

It is interesting how a simple fragrance remains a memory.  Not a word, not an image — I have often wondered what it is in our brain/body/psyche that actually remembers smells.
Things had gotten so busy I nearly forgot the brief moment of wonder at Devokan last summer.  I’m still not sure it happened, but after [...]

Chapter -7, Listening, pages 173-176

Chink……  chink……  chink……
The quiet tink of glass rod on glass rim penetrated the drawn out wind-like sound I heard as I breathed in.
Chink…….
Leaning forward I inhaled the new combination of scents.  Ooof…  too much pine.
“Rats.”
Well, let it cook.  Smell it again in a few hours.  I thought about the painting — something different would be [...]

Chapter 5, The Box, p457

I really should say that I decided to write down the story when I found the Big Box, not when I discovered the Little Box had disappeared. After all, had I not found the Big Box I wouldn’t have known about the Little Box at all.  Its subsequent disappearance would not have made [...]

Chapter 5, The Box, p500

The event that triggered my decision to write about this part of my journey was the disappearance of the Little Box. I realized, when I went back and saw that it was gone from the Big Box, that the smell of its contents had reached someone who cared. Besides me.
And I didn’t really [...]

Chapter -10, Scents-tory Perception, p1

How to begin? Can’t start at the beginning because the beginning has been over for a while. Even though I decided rather recently to begin to tell the story that began back when — I, like most humans, want to tell the story from start to finish. My friend Ruby says [...]

Discovering Scents

I’ve long worked with fragrances and essential oils on the surface, but hadn’t realized there was such a treasure trove of scents in the Cavern and the associated Ages. The journey to find, catalog, and finally duplicate them has been amazing — and frustrating . Everything goes smoothly unless I start looking [...]
