Challenge your preconceptions, they said. Maybe up is down, maybe down is up, maybe there is no up or down. Maybe everything is sideways every day, all the time. Chew on that for a bit.

Challenge authority, they said. Speak up for what’s right, work for change, it’s up to you to make this world into something just and beautiful. But when we spoke it was not that way, not so loud, maybe if you tried being more likeable…

Sometimes it seems like the challenge is the world itself.


Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “ch.” Find a word that starts with “ch” and use it as your prompt word. Bonus points if you start your post with that word. Enjoy!
