The Prompt: Malcolm X said, “A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.” Discuss. My first thought was that as a middle class white woman, I needed to get more context on this quote before wading in. I did read Malcolm X in college so I had a sense that this quote wouldn’t be […]
The Prompt: When was the last time you felt as if things were falling apart? How was the situation resolved? This famous scene from “Magnolia” came to mind when I read this question. Wise Up It’s not What you thought When you first began it You got What you want Now you can hardly stand […]
I sit here nearing the end of October and simply overwhelmed with grief at all that I’ve missed this autumn, nearly every autumn. No leaves, no haunted house, no giant rubber duck picture, no brisk walks at dusk. I missed most of the film festival and all of the animal Halloween costume contests. Laura has […]
The Prompt: Are you easily tricked? Do you fall for things? Sure, I fall for things and people and ideas all of the time. I also fall for pranks and lines and ridiculously catchy pop songs. I’m susceptible to feel good stories, perhaps because I hear so many of the opposite kind. But I’m not a […]
The Prompt: Are you scared of heights or do you love looking down from a high point? When I was a kid, I would set up the ladder and scurry up on the roof of our ranch house. I couldn’t see much from the front and I was a little frightened of going onto the back […]
The Prompt: How long does it take you to fall asleep? I’m starting this post wide awake at 11 while everyone else is asleep. That in spite of the fact that I am still sick and felt bone tired earlier. And I take bedtime meds that are slightly sedating. Typically, I fall asleep soon after […]
The Prompt: Oprah Winfrey said, “So go ahead. Fall down. The world looks different from the ground.” Do you embrace failure? I’m not sure how to begin with this one. Oprah certainly overcame adversity in a manner that is unparalleled in the history of the world, right? Even now, she could just stop and relax and […]
The Prompt: Tell us about the first person you “fell” for. Ah. It was 4th grade and his name was Brian Stupar. He was one of the smart kids, light hair, very slight. If I close my eyes, I can picture him sitting in the classroom talking with his friend Chris. I remember all of the […]
The Prompt: Tell us about falling in love: what does it feel like? With no intent to sexualize the metaphor, falling in love is a lot like the sensation of “falling” into a really comfy bed and having a great night’s sleep. There’s the literal fall and the allegorical fall of your muscles relaxing as they […]
Just doing some blog stretches here I heard this video for the first time on our beach vacation trip in June. It’s like Wilson Phillips of the 2100’s. And of course a classic song about falling And finally a mournful tune from Patsy Cline
