And Then Something Happened

Creative Memory Consultant I love to help people organize their memories . Imagine the following film: Being Dr. Kissinger . There's no light at the end of that tunnel. Lala lost her ball: aw down, aw down , Sangha says, waves hands, palms cupped up to signify the nothing that is there. And then Po her 'cooter. Vast pockets of lint over the Koolaus. Write to the rhythm of the pile driver. If lyric is material, how to reconcile its obsession with what is forgotten? Does that explain the moose with a head cold, bedded down amid animated rubble? Bomb crater where a wedding party was? What memories my son carries are physical: the touch of foreheads, particular curve of the hand when he dances. What he has forgotten is a entire language. I'm eager to show you how to organize your adoption scrapbook , the consultant writes. Your snapshots are testimony, remainder, the excess that spills over in long division. Revision by reduction, memory plants-a glove still grows in the garden. And they all live together in the big red barn .Schultz, Susan M. is the author of 'And Then Something Happened', published 2004 under ISBN 9781844710164 and ISBN 1844710165.
