{the archetypal fool}

Saturday, March 13, 2010


that day, for no particular reason, i decided to go for a little run.
so i ran to the end of the road and, when i got there, i thought maybe i'd run to the end of town.
and when i got there, i thought maybe i'd just run across greenbow county.
now, thinking since i'd run this far, maybe i'd just run across the great state of alabama.
and that's what i did. i ran clear across alabama.
no particular reason. i just kept on going.
i ran clear to the ocean.
and when i got there, i figured since i'd gone this far, might as well turn around, just keep on going.
and when i got to another ocean, i figured since i'd gone this far, i might as well just turn back and keep right on going.
when i got tired, i slept.
when i got hungry, i ate.
when i had to go...you know... i went...

they couldn't believe somebody would do all that running for no reason.
i just felt like running.

I loved that movie ... it made me cry just a little. How clever, I'd never thought of Forrest as the fool before, but ... it fits!

Love the new blog design.
