why hippies drive me crazy
this morning i woke up and set out on an epic quest: do. homework. i obviously failed. but where your brain isn't concerned with one thing, it finds itself involved in another. three analogies for the way my soul/mind works (er, the way things sort out in my brain): 1. quilting : patching together all the threads of things that are input into it through day-to-day life. snippets of conversations, school readings, internet news reports, bumper sticker slogans, pre-instilled cliche adages, biblical truths, song lyrics, simple observations, etc, etc, etc, eighteen trillion factors of input from all five sensory organs. these things are sewn, some are used as threads, others as fabrics, others as bunting, others tossed aside as scraps... but all used to patch together my understanding of all that i know. that's really huge and general ("understanding of all that i know")... but... what else do i say there? i like the word "patch" partially because it reminds me...
