The Proust Questionnaire, Part II

All the cool kids get vulnerable.

Welcome back, and a warm hello to the newcomers.

Today brings the second section of the Proust questionnaire. Each prompt gets a haiku and 8 bars of music, meant to be enjoyed as one.

If any of the music or poetry speaks to you, I’d love to read your reflections in the comments!

Let’s dive in.

12.) What is the quality you most like in a person?

Peaceful, waveless lake.

Slow, steady, relaxed, and calm.

No sudden movements.

“Self-awareness” and

“Emotionally mature”

Are two that I’ll own.

My current partner

Is the open door to love

And a kinder life.

Crunching through the autumn leaves

At the hobbit house.

The social graces

Would be a great set of skills

To add to the bag.

My home, a big library.

Sunshine streaming in.
