Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
The cue for this week’s Six Sentence Story is, base
Six Sentence Stories are a bloghop sponsored by zoe (aka Ivy) over at Doug’s place. The Object (and challenge) is to write a story of six, and only six, sentences. Everything else is up to you. (In this week’s example, I’m kinda seeing how far off the free association cliff I can get this jalopy. I promise, next week there will be a simple story, maybe a narrative involving: true love, reckless disregard for one’s own well-being, a stunning lack of fixed and established personal boundaries and maybe a little sex… that’s next week. If some one reminds me.) Until then,
“Sentimentality Base to Sparrow 1, Sentimentality Base to Sparrow 1, report your status.”
“Sparrow 1 to Sentimentality Base, the fog is thick, it’s impossible to see the Way, instinct is the only available navigational aid.”
“Sentimentality Base to Sparrow, do not, we repeat, do not rely on instinct, the terrain is too emotional and unreliable…”
“Falcon 1 to Sentimentality Base, too late, have identified a landing zone, repeat, have chosen a place to land.”
“Sentimentality Base 1, please return to base, it’s too soon, please return to base.”
“Eagle 1, who is this?”
*a set of words that is complete in itself, typically containing a subject and predicate, conveying a statement, question, exclamation, or command, and consisting of a main clause and sometimes one or more subordinate clauses.

Brilliant. And I wonder as we go through life using instinct to navigate our emotions if we are appealing to our basic nature????
ty
I’d tend to agree… if we define basic nature as that simple eat sleep defecate procreate set of requirements for most living organisms (and scotts*)
*lol yeah, couldn’t resist! I love scotts! some of my best friends are scotts!
I loved this! So much said in this short series of communications! Navigating life by our emotions… I will be thinking about that now!
Visit me at Josie’s Journal
I actually believe that we do (navigate life by our emotions) to a certain, but difficult to define extent. Maybe the best was to say it, ‘no matter how carefully I might rationalize and analyze the world and the people around me, there is emotion attached. Not necessarily in a manner that allows me to be directly aware (of these feelings), however, as humans our emotions are integral to ourselfs…. to know is to feel, whether we know it or not, if we feel it or not.
As i told someone yesterday, that’s an emotion talking, and in a little while you won’t feel that way, it will change.
do our feelings change or are we changed by our (feelings)?
Both!
HAHAHA, FABULOUS!!! INSTINCTUAL EVEN!
lol
(hoping you’d get a kick out of it)
That sounds like something out of a David Bowie soundtrack…hahaha
lol… yeah Ground Control to Major Tom (that’s an interesting thought… I recall getting some of it (whatever ‘it’ might be be) from the Julie Andrews photo I used)
appropriate of none of that, I’ll include this
Rational v. non-rational……
(Taco was starting to weird me out towards the end. But that’s on me :D)
Good 6.
Go Max.
Nice carlos reference
I think our feelings and emotions are often times intertwined, but one may overrule the other depending on the situation and they can change drastically.
totally agree… the tricky part is being able to know when that happens
