the turkey process

Here's a friend's response to another girl saying she is in the "phoenix process" with her life:

My story isn't the "phoenix process," rather something called the "turkey process." It's based on the idea that during a rainstorm, turkeys will stare up at the sky with their beaks hanging open, transfixed, until they drown. Whether that's true of turkeys or not, I really feel like that's my story. I'm still working on it, but nurturing my turkey aura helps me center myself as I "gobble" my way through this world. Haven't found a book on it yet.
