WW – falling – 6.11.08

come play – share an answer, ask another question.
last week @ngie ended things: when confronted by unavoidable and imposed change how do you respond?
like chicken little: the sky is falling. the sky is falling!!!!! i don’t heart change. i hate it. really. but, i push through by concocting as many hypothetical outcomes as possible, and then meticulously work out a plan for each scenario. some would call this “worrying” – i call it “preparing”.
OK! starter question: if you’re in a forest, and a tree falls, and it scares you (because everyone knows that a falling tree actually DOES make a sound when it crashes!), and you run in a panic, and then you get lost, what do you do?
