For our MOM: [Feet on the floor. fingers on knees. Close your eyes. Let your thoughts float away like leaves on the surface of a stream, until all that's left is this moment. Breathe.]
JOURNAL TOPIC: Describe something you've done that made time go by so sloooowwwwlllyyy that you thought it would never end. What do you think caused this impression? (And, if you've been joining us or following the reading, do you agree with Dunbar on the subject?)
-OR-
You can use your journal simply to write about life and your experiences in these unusual, challenging times.
AGENDA:
1. MOM
2. Journal
3. Meeting
4. Post
POST:
The narrator in T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" seems like he's stuck. Eliot uses imagery to convey the idea that time, and love, and a personal sense of fulfillment is passing the narrator by. Choose a simile or a metaphor from the poem. Explain how it contributes to the tone or theme of the poem. (title: I SAW THE ETERNAL FOOTMAN)
