Stop, Drop and Roll

Remember the routine to follow if you should ever find yourself on fire? Stop, Drop And Roll? I believe this would be an effective stress reliever when life becomes a wee bit too much and stress feels like a burning fire. I may try it next time I feel an overwhelming sense of pressure. At times folks say their stress is so high they feel as if their hair is on fire. So, if you see a woman looking distinctly like a coastal woman, and there is that look, y'all, if you see that woman stop in mid-step, drop to the ground and begin rolling back and forth; think of this post. At that moment you will know something no one else knows, that woman is not crazy and she is not on fire. She is stressed beyond her limit and her hair is on fire. Let her roll. Do not mistake this for a Pentecostal moment of divine fervor! Yes, she could be Pentecostal and from the coast. There is no divine event taking place at that particular moment. Well, maybe if she has her hair in a large bun on the top of her head. Should that be the case there is a tiny chance you are witness to a holy roller who has lost her sense of decorum and dropped into a passionate spiritual roll without processing her whereabouts. There is a .00010 percent chance this is the case. Well, if she is wearing a dress that is below her knees and covers her arms and is up to her neck and has on thick stockings and no make-up the percentage goes up significantly. Putting that aside as a rare event assume the rolling woman's hair is on fire from stress and let her roll. Lord knows she is worth it. As a famous country song says, "Just walk on by. Wait on the corner."
