Show me the way to go home

 Today we wrote some favorite song lyrics and from there wrote memories, intuitive writing, etc, associated with those lyrics. I say "some" because we couldn't possibly get to them all; they breed and they're elusive. Still, a lyrical warm up into deeper writing, which lead to, naming a very few:

singing in the car (or not)

singing at camp

singing in the kitchen

forlorn

Madonna

memory loss

love of grunge (who knew?)

Brazil

deathbeds 

Kool Aid

just like yesterday

John Denver

picnics

old tapes

mixed tapes

you say hello

goodbye yellow brick road

I'm still standing

singing for peace

all versions of home and longing to leave and get back there

Dolphins

 Who knew there was so much to write about dolphins? Who knew that some of us are dolphins? Do you remember Dolphin Shorts? We didn't write about those, but we sure could have. 

Watch it Shimmy

 Today we wrote about Jell-O.

Losing Control

 We wrote about that today, especially losing control of our bodies, and how hard that can be when having  to go out in public out of control

we could all relate to that one

There's more, but that's enough

Happy Halloweeeeen! Prompts

 Happy Halloween! Why does that tickle the tummy? Must be all those eeeees. Something instantly wonderful about that. That's my instant bliss: e's in a row. You?

Today we wrote about: (naming a few)

candy

costumes

being bad

bad influences

Stealing

Fire pits

KFC

Being that house on Halloween

seeing loved ones age and decline

the thing someone said or did that cut off your innocence/life force when you were a kid

cats

confessions

kids (you, yours, in general)

how hard it is not to clip their wings 

do I dress up as a warm mom or a cat?

Today we wrote about

walking alone 

(and walking alone for the first time)                                                                                                                   pumpkin spice water

neighbors stopping by

witch costumes

shaking

carnivals

that one little thing that makes you happy

everything

                            ...
