Wait for It ... Ah-ha!
What things force reflection? A perfect turn of prose ... an uncanny situation ... the image that quickens the senses? We see them everyday, everywhere. Often in a day a thing will tickle my ear, catch my eye or perplex me momentarily, but busyness - or laziness - prevents my extracting any real insight. (Bad practice for an aspiring writer, I know.) And so, I challenge myself and those who'd like to join me to Look for the Words.
Each week I'll post something notable I've encountered - quote, lyric, photo, conversation - and let it fester into some individual truth. I invite others to contribute their own truths as well. The more perspective, the better.
To depart on a potent thought, I give you "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane, a wonderful example in interpretation. "Remember what the dormouse said...."

Matthew R Moore on Wait for It ... Ah-ha!: I was thinking; I’m not commen
I was thinking; I’m not commenting on any blogs tonight. I’m tired. I have my inexplicable male PMS again. And, I swear, one leg is longer than the other one today, I just don't know which one. But you had to post “White Rabbit”. I love that song. When I have get-togethers at my place I test my company and see how many times I can play it in a row. The record is two.
So, despite logic and proportion falling sloppy dead, I will help you look for the words. “What things force reflection?” WE are the things that force reflection.
I am so glad someone else loves this song. I can't listen to music that doesn't have content. And "White Rabbit" definitely has great lyrics.
You're a funny guy, Matt (May I call you Matt, or do you prefer Matthew?). That leg bit really cracked me up. I won't ask about the PMS though, I'll just wish you well and thank you for commenting.
