These are some stories gathered from one of my groups. They gave me permission to post them and I think they are amazing examples of self reflection and depth-ful thought...
The work that they put into this type of reflective thought is simply amazing and absolutely brave. I applaud you.
In no particular order....
Swell: An Up & Down Phenom
A surfer is a moody person. The beach is even more moody. Together that makes a horrible relationship. To the standard beach goer the beach is tranquil, no cars, no road rage, just a quiet sandy place to go and catch a tan, a walk or just a break. But the surfer sees the beach as a woman. A mood changing freak of nature. She is happy, she is sad, or she is happy but sad at the same time. Anticipation of this gets you worked up. For good? for bad?
The 72 hr models show swell. The weather is looking good. Sometimes there are good waves in but the wind and rain make them crap.
The swell is here, the weather is good. A surfer is happy. The beach is happy. Together that makes for a great relationship. The swell has come and gone. You as a surfer are unhappy, you can't surf. The beach has turned into a tourist attraction over your sanctuary or happy place. moody.
Sammy The Swamp Frog
Sammy the pond frog didn't have any big goals in life but he was content. He lived in a pond and had all the necessities in life. Life was, indeed simple, so him and his handful of friends spent their spare time doing absolutely nothing, Sammy made the decision to see what life had to offer 'cause he was a dreamer.
Sammy left the pond in search of something bigger, better than before. He arrived at a swamp in Lafayette, LA.
At first sammy was blown away by the sheer size and breadth of what he had arrived at, this immense habitat was a hundred times bigger than his pond. Sammy got acquainted with his surroundings and was hired by Tad the Tadpole to keep the water's surface clear of bugs. Sammy found his calling in life and became part of a bigger family than he had expected. The toads called him "brother" and the tadpoles called him "uncle Sam". But to the rest he was sammy the swamp frog. The End
Tup R. Ware
Tup R. Ware was an ordinary person with lots on his mind. Every morning he would wake up, eat and empty the dish washer. But never quite seemed to get passed that. It was all the tupperwares fault the world seemed to spin to fast and pull it all out of the cupboard. In Tups hand went with a tupperware and out it came with several more toppling back at him. After years spending each morning fixing this he discovered something. He could control it. If he thought hard enough, the tupperware would stay in place with glue! But as soon as he lost his thought, out they all flew. It's mornings were now spent trying to focus his one super power thought on the tupperware but he always screwed it up! Poor Tup R. Ware spent the rest of his life dealing with the same dilemma every morning.
