FreeFall: Peekaboo
http://mind-droppings.blogspot.com/2009/08/peekaboo.html
Sunday, August 2, 2009. We play this game, you and I. It's kind of reverse peekaboo. It goes like this:. I make it totally clear - nonononononono I'm not here. And I cautiously peek through my fingers to see if you've been convinced. Yes, sweetheart. You're not here at all, as sure as you're standing there. No, I'm not here at all, I say while I pull back one finger. I laugh and I cry and forget to hold another finger to my eye. I'm not here after all. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

FreeFall: May 2009
http://mind-droppings.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. The wild child, for a while, would rest in places where love didn’t act. Where solitude didn’t require a face, where morning didn’t need anything else to complete it, where profound indifference of spirit could speak for itself, and have nothing more to say. In the act of forgetting, she had not realized yet how she had decided never to love, to not afflict anyone with the terrible burden of being loved. She would understand things, and that would be her calling.

FreeFall: Worst case scenario
http://mind-droppings.blogspot.com/2009/08/worst-case-scenario.html
Sunday, August 9, 2009. I might say things that are incomprehensible. I might say nothing at all. You might be afraid of me. You might fall in love with me. I might just stare at you blankly. I might not reassure you that you're okay. You might think I'm crazy. You might think I'm weird. I might not believe you. I might know when you're lying. I might not respond when you lie. I might not ever call you. I might not need you. I might love you. You might feel hurt. You might feel enraged.

FreeFall: all the grown-ups
http://mind-droppings.blogspot.com/2009/08/all-grown-ups.html
Thursday, August 13, 2009. Where have all the grown-ups gone? Is there no one to tell me what's going on? Will I stop pretending I don't see it's a costume show? Who are we doing this for? Why is everyone playing along? Am I missing something? Where have all the grown-ups gone? The ones who knew why this was necessary? Were they ever there? Can we stop the charade yet? What if you find yourself the oldest one in the room? No one to look to but yourself. No one to look out to but yourself.

FreeFall: February 2009
http://mind-droppings.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 3, 2009. The example that's most obvious to me is "boring". But it seems that a lot of adjectives ending in "-ing" or "-able" (charming; despicable; delightful; awesome) would fall into that category, where the expression is that "x is y-ing". But really the meaning of this statement is "I am y-ed in response to x". X in itself is not inherently y-ing, attested to by the fact that not everybody gets y-ed in response to x. How about words like "asshole"? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

FreeFall: June 2008
http://mind-droppings.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 9, 2008. I used to think people who changed their names were just being pretentious and making life difficult for those who knew them. What's in a name after all, right? Just another external marker of identity, really should not matter one way or the other, should it? It may be just a way of trying to create an impression of being a certain type of person. But there is another perspective that I see now. Who else in this world would know what your name is, better than yourself? Yes, it was.

FreeFall: July 2008
http://mind-droppings.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 25, 2008. My word of the day. Wednesday, July 2, 2008. Dear Glenda Kinzer, 41, from rural Ohio, and many others who fear that Barack Hussein Obama may be the Antichrist, and therefore choose to vote for McCain:. Rejoice, for this is how we know that we are living in End Times. The sooner the Antichrist achieves domination, the closer the Second Coming is at hand. The faithful will finally ascend to life eternal, while the rest of us will be cast into hell and damnation.

FreeFall: Invitation
http://mind-droppings.blogspot.com/2010/01/invitation.html
Saturday, January 16, 2010. Walking on the road today I stumbled. It was spelled out in loud skywriting:. A hundred birds were birding in the air. Ten thousand raindrops rained through it. A million billion particles of everything. Were particling into nothing in particular. Can you hear God laughing. The world, if it should still go by that name,. Has turned inside out like a glove. Now is a good season. The whirling world comes to rest. Adrift, at home. Hollowness speaks, when it does.
