The Ride
“The pink one is pretty,” I think to myself. “I’ll keep this one for Pawpaw.”
Daddy is taking me on his three-wheeler to see Pawpaw, and I am gathering small rocks from our gravel driveway, picking out the ones I like the most.
I hear the roar of the three-wheeler engine, and I feel excited. I smell the exhaust from the engine – it smells like Daddy when he comes in from working on the farm.
Daddy scoops me up and sits me on the bike in front of him, holding me tight. I am five years old. We speed down the highway, onto the gravel road toward Pawpaw’s house. We are going fast, and the wind is hard on my face. The wind stings my eyes, so I keep them closed.
Then I hear gravel crunch under the wheels of the bike. I am falling. I can’t feel Daddy’s arms around me anymore. It’s hot and dark, and the smell of the engine is close and very strong.
“Daddy, where are you?” I am scared.

Oh! Oh! I know! Call on me! Except I haven't been correct yet. Well, I thiiink Rosemary may conclude that since her sensual experience is so heightened and it ended in pain that it might be the problem. So, again, as in the birthday memory, perhaps she is being warned to pull back and not get so high on sensory input.
What vivid writing! Obviously, she has not dulled her senses because of her tumble.
Whoa......Talk about high on senses. hear/see/feel/smell this article is full of them. I agree with Joyce. Vivid.I would be hopeful that she does know her worldview. Talk about taking advantage of it rather than be afraid trouble will follow. Someone posted curosity of her profession today. I am as well. And what I'd really like is to hear from Rosemary herself??????
This writing was good. I felt as if I were right there on that three wheeler with her. And Candis I liked the picture of the gravel with the pink one right in the middle. Good job to all
testing
I voted. I'm patiently waiting for the explanatory post!
