Humpty Dumpty: After the Fall
Introducing the GO FIGURE KIDS
By Paul R. LambBalboa Press
All rights reserved.
Part I
The Great Fall
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall; Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty back together again.
Hairline fractures ...
"Oh, boy," said Humpty. "Wouldn't you know it. "Just when I'm supposed to do something worthwhile and important, this happens. I'll never get back together. Why does this always happen to me?!?!!" Grumbling aloud Humpty Dumpty looked up and saw a bunch of kids gazing down at him.
"Looks like you had a great fall, sir," said Sarah Dippity.
"Where are all the king's horses and all the king's men?" Humpty Dumpty returned to Sarah Dippity, looking at the kid next to her.
"That's Quackers," said Sarah Dippity.
Quackers said to Sarah Dippity, "Everyone is like Humpty Dumpty."
"Everyone is like me?" Humpty heard Quackers.
Quackers looked at Humpty Dumpty. "Yup, everyone, Humpty! Everyone sits on the wall – their wall of choice. Everyone has a part of them that is riddled already with hairline fractures – perhaps just a small corner of the brain, but there, none-the-less. Hairline fractures belong to all -- to make everyone a whole person. Or, at least, a good egg," said Quackers with half a grin.
crack ... crack ... crack ....
Dragon chirped in, "Yah, I know. For a long time I was denying or totally unaware of the hairline fractures I had. That simply enabled my fractures to become weaker; give rise to even more hairlines. One fracture can propagate another ..."
... crack ... crack ... crack ....
"Is that why you, I mean, all the dinosaurs disappeared?" asked Humpty Dumpty.
"I know they talk of many reasons for our extinction. This one, though, sounds good to me. It could be the extinction of many who do not attend to their hairline fractures," predicted Dragon.
Humpty Dumpty looked at Dragon and said curiously with lengthy wondering pauses, "You are a dragon and you ... and you .... are ... talking ...."
Dragon looked at Humpty and said, "That's nothing. You're an egg ..."
It's all about you ...
Chris said, "When hairline fractures are unattended the whole person crumbles into scattered pieces like you did Humpty Dumpty."
Angus added, "And rather than `all the king's horses and all the king's men', only you, Humpty, can put yourself back together again.
"Harumph!" said Humpty. "But I'm the Royal Egg!" Humpty said with flair. "So things will happen for me."
"He was such a kind and gentle man ..."
Paladin and Frances listened then Paladin added, "When an individual has `a melt down' or `flies off the handle', we often hear that this person, is described in the media by neighbours, as `a kind and gentle person'. More like it, they become a Mr. Hyde! Hyde who is another who avoided attending the hairline fractures. The whole person crumbled, lost control, and behaved in an unrecognizable and shattering manner -- disgusting."
"You're not kidding, Paladin," said Quackers who flirted his eye brows up and down and wiggled his fingers as if playing a flute like Groucho Marx, "crowds gathered and, as a constant topic of conversation, they discussed Hyde with disgust."
All the Go Figure Kids looked at Quackers imitating Groucho and then looked at each other with a pregnant pause of silence followed with a consensual groan. Only Frances Lake laughed ... kind of ...
Quackers said, "Ignoring your hairline fractures is the thin edge of the wedge being driven into the fractures. As time passes and more challenges happen in your life the wedge is driven deeper and deeper.
Until ..."
The unobtrusive event ...
"... IT happens!
What the event will be is unknown – it seems to 'just happen'! None-the-less, the wedge is driven in as each small and inconspicuous challenge occurs. The event need not be something catastrophic. In fact, more often, it is a small, seemingly unobtrusive incident – but it's the last straw! You are unaware of the accumulating effects." Sarah Dippity finished Quackers' thought.
Chris said, "I'll tell you a story, Humpty. A story of two frogs."
The short story of the frogs
Once upon a time there were two curious frogs. One curious frog jumped into a pot filled with boiling water! "OW! This is very hot!!!!" said the frog. And the frog jumped out immediately!
The other curious frog jumped into a pot filled with room temperature water and lingered. "AHHH ...' said the frog.
The heat was turned up, though very gradually ... and up ... and up ... and up ... to a boil! The frog paid no attention to this insipid rise in temperature. The frog boiled to death. It croaked! ...
The wreckage ...
"Like the second frog that croaked, the wedge is driven into your hairline fractures insipidly – almost insidiously. You are unaware of it – you crack.
The hairline fractures have grown longer; increased in number; coalesced; and the wedge is driven in one more time!!!!
And then ...
The great fall!
Angus said with a very sinister voice, "You shatter and in some cases – wreckage!".
You ...
"All the King's horses and all the King's men cannot put you back together again, Humpty," said Quackers.
"Yes, consequences happen; different institutions may be involved. Professionals may be called in; medications may be prescribed; and, so begins the attempt to `put you back together again'.
In the end, though, with all that help, you are still the only one who can put you back together again." Humpty didn't see who said that.
It's all about you ...
"Yah, like Humpty Dumpty," said Humpty Dumpty, referring to himself, "they have a great fall! Of course I'd point to myself if I could ... but ... I can't – Had a great fall, yah know." Humpty finished, trailing off.
That wasn't really me ...
Sarah Dippity said, "Fortunately, these acts of devastation are quelled by most. Usually, others do their Humpty Dumpty act, yet catch themselves before their great fall – destructive devastation."
Quackers said, "However, less than the destructive devastation, not tending to your hairline fractures, you can act in a way that is not really you. You're overwhelmed, not yourself. Your hairline fractures are breaking as you have avoided tending them and you cannot hold yourself together ..."
Tending ...
"So if I tended to myself, my hairline fractures, every day, they would be fewer and I would be stronger so I wouldn't have a great fall, like I just did," said Humpty.
"That's right, Humpty," said Angus.
"Is it time?" Angus looked at his friends, The GO Figure Kids, with anticipation. "Is it time?"
"Time for what?" Quizzed Humpty Dumpty. "Is it time for you kids to put me back together again?"
"Well, the first step to being put back together," said Chris, "is for you to say `YES' to yourself, welcoming you getting back together. Secondly to accept help and say `YES' to that help."
"Your life has changed, Humpty. I'm not intending to push `all the kings horses and all the kings men' to the back of the line, yet, are you ready to work with us, Humpty?
Quackers saw almost an imperceptible affirmation in Humpty's eyes and face and said, "It's time! It's time for the magic...
