  1. there is a strand of thought that lets us suspend what we know to be true and instead allows our minds to flow freely and unabated. This is the strand called imagination. This is the strand called freedom. It is this strand of thought above all others we must protect. Above rationalisation, above love, above even compassion. For imagination allows us all the abve with more.

  4. Two or three strands of hair are always hanging in my daughter’s eyes. Like a vine across a bough, or a ribbon, it separates from the rest of her hair to segment her forehead. My hand is

  6. My hair is getting too long. I would love to have a trendy style but it’s just too thick. A strand, no more like knots of my hair just sitting atop my head. Really should get it cut. Want that style though, like some hip tokyo teenager

  7. The simple strand of string was hanging down from her bright red tunic. Tantalizingly. I wanted to pull it off, but I couldn’t. All I could do was sit there while it rocked back and forth with the motion of the bus. It even looked like it had a little gold in it, from the accents around the hem of her shirt. Slowly it swung, back and forth, until, finally, the bus stopped and I had to get off.

  8. A strand. A strand is all that connects humanity to their society, all that keeps us civilized. Without that strand, we would go back to our core genus. We would go back to surviving by being the craziest mofos out there. We would become that which we fight against. Every time we leave out “society”, our “civilization”, we walk that abyss, and from time to time, someone falls in.

  9. One strand of her hair hung alone. She had cut it. That evil woman had stolen who she was. Her hair represented it. Certainly not the way the man in the bible lost his strength with his hair, but this was personality. Part of what made her who she was. Without her hair, she wasn’t Melanie Fitzgerald, the girl in High School with a 3.9 GPA, lots of friends, and greatly dressed. She was just a girl.
    But, who is it that took her hair? Her stepmother. The woman who was out to ruin her life. She had already took her own mother away from her, but now she left her alone with just a single strand of hair.

  10. you stranded me at the gas station. this petroleum love affair shimmers like rainbows in the light but we’re evaporating, slowly, as your silence floats up into my nose and makes me think of summer on the lake, filling the boat with gas to go waterskiing and beat my body against the waves.

  11. A strand of hair falls and is left.
    A man stranded sees the shore.
    What is left is a strand of time,
    in that sea beyond the shore.
    Don’t worry, he wont be stranded forever.

    by Tar. on 01.01.1970
  12. he was stranded and he didn’t know what to do. There was only a few options; so few. He wiggled the doorknob again. Then he jostled it. He progressively tried his way with the doorknob until it reached the point that he was kicking it. It still didn’t work. What else could he do? He thought, racking his brain for every solution. He felt incapitated. Like he had nothing.

  13. The strand. The strand that ran up to heaven; or the girder holding up the walkway. The walkway I was now looking over the precipice of into the cold dark. Cold, wet dark. Over, into the East River. I have thought of of doing this for years. Decades. Now, here I am, my Brooklyn bound car stopped next to me int he right lane as I contemplate the end of this. How many people ever did this? Not too many. I think people do this in San Francisco more.

  14. her hair carried strands of ruby and diamond, her face ageless and wise, clearly she had little left to hold her back; besides her a man, as young and terrible as her sat, his eyes sparkling and smiling where many simply passed by, grey shapes walking endlessly nowhere and anywhere. They two sat apart, smiling and speaking, until they had turned their eyes to me with all-knowing eyes.

  17. That one linear strand, draped so casually and unavoidable over the edge of the sink, doomed my marriage to a series of ever-widing battles, clashes that would resound from the den ultimately into chancery court.

  20. A strand of hair fell across her face as Samantha stared through the pillars of little green soldiers rising out of the Earth. She spread her fingers out, tickled and teased them.

  21. i’m stranded. i’m surrounded by people, buildings, steel, but i’m stranded, alone. I hate this damn city. All around me, people walking by, up and down my hallway. I say hello, but I don’t hear it back. It’s like being on a desert island.

    by Jason Blum on 01.01.1970
  22. A strand is a piece of something, or rather a former piece of something. One can select a strand of hair, but it’s really more like a piece of what should be a proper hairdo. Nobody considers a strand individually until there’s something wrong with it; it’s broken, or as with a stray hair – a strand of hair – in the way.

  26. the strand of hair that fell in front of her eye made me realize that she was a girl just like any other girl. Her green eye that was shrouded by the strand spoke little and reminded me of her shallowness and all girl’s shallowness, and men’s as well. We are beasts of burden put on this earth to suffer for our needs. What could be worse than that? Spend a lifetime wanting, but its not worth it.

  32. This is where Shakespeare did his great works. The Strand. Or maybe I’m thinking of something else. Something like spaghetti. Or the tentacles on a squid. They’re poisonous, yaknow. Strand of hair? How about a word that sounds less… i don’t know… guttural?

  38. A strand of hair on my head is one in a million. There are so many that make up my whole being. I can’t believe that God knows about every one on my head. It is amazing how God can create this being from nothing but make it beautiful.
