Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Six Sentence Story.
Hosted by Denise
aka: “…so we get a word and we’re to write a story that’s six and only six sentences in length.”
This week’s prompt word:
MOUNTAIN
“You’ve said, I’ve heard you say, true wisdom is available to everyone willing to work hard and study,” the softness in the young man’s voice, intended to convey self-assurance, exposed his over-confidence.
“Well, half right,” the young woman confined a smile to the corners of her eyes; the plain black wool of her habit a tactile reminder that the outer person is usually clothed by others.
“You already know it, so why can’t you just tell me so that I can know it too?” He sat back in his chair, mistaking a feeling of superiority as power rather than the shackles of society’s bias.
“Knowledge can be shared, knowing cannot.”
Seeing the man’s brow gather itself into a wall, she added, “I will tell you the last third of what I know, “… after enlightenment mountains are once again mountains.”
on again/off again with the music this week: J. S. Bach’s Cantata 140 (Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme) love the song but… I don’t know. But then I came across this ‘version’. Fun
Darf ich der erste sein…excellent Six. Start to finish.
“..the plain black wool of her habit a tactile reminder that the outer person is usually clothed by others.” This may be my favorite line.
Danke
Perfection! So much wordage and corner eye smiles!
Thanks, Lisa!
So much good stuff in this six.
I like “Knowledge can be shared, knowing cannot.”
The video was also fun.
Wasn’t it? It was way at the bottom of the list of returns from my search for the ‘song’. Very cool animation thing, what they did there.
“Knowledge can be shared, knowing cannot.” very Yodaesque. Love it. As always, man, you’re the beast!
ty, yo, ty
When we get to where we think we know, we are probably the furthest from knowing, at least that’s been my experience.
totally
“Knowledge can be shared, knowing cannot.” Love this line :) Great 6!
Thank you, Susan.
Brilliant. And I’m not just saying that….
Thanks, V.
Count me in as another one who loved the knowledge/knowing line!
yeah, now that I read it, like it myself. (lol)
Yep, this guy’s shortcut quest for knowledge shows how little he knows. Such a wisely fun Six!
Thankee, Miz Av’ry
