What an interesting project! There is a whole website dedicated to 6 word memoirs.. and today we began writing in our memoir class by writing a few of our own.
Some of Mine:
Walking and walking until suddenly not.
Science gives answers where faith cannot.
Faith gives answers where science cannot.
Coffee-- you glorious substance I love.
Friends and family I long for.
College is where I seek truth.
I will forever love you boy.
Sunshine and rain are the happiest.
PLEASE: Comment with one or more of your own!!
The glorious thing about these memoirs, is that they can be taken literally or metaphorically. For instance, walking and walking until suddenly not. If you remember a few months back my being hit by the car... I was walking and walking... until suddenly I was on the ground asking what the hell had just happened. But... it could also be very metaphorical... I find myself walking through life searching for answers, and continue walking along until I suddenly I find my answers. I often think too... we're living as students-- and it often becomes just the monotonous repetition of school, homework, sleep and work. We're just moving through, one foot in front of the other.. and then suddenly something happens that knocks us off our feet. A friend dies, an illness, a family member gets sick or dies, money problems, natural disasters... things happen and they knock us off course.
Always, H. Eilene
