Why so easily offended?

Why so easily offended?
It is only low growls from wee animals…
They have somehow reached the most tender part of yourself…
Be careful, you can run out of gas dwelling on an emotion like that.

Have you forgotten the deep magic…
It is always here to alleviate the great problems of each day…
Take a deep breath, bring yourself back to the present…
Because in the present you can accept all things.

Focus on the golden pink across the horizon…
That morsel of chicken lying in the grass (yum!)
Forget about the frosty night…
And let the sunshine erase that stamp of hurt written on your forehead.

Life is both Fire and Water…
The fire extremely hot and the water seldom clear…
With emotions that are golden and sometimes a ghostly white…
Everything seeming a little past due.

But remember after heartbreak there is always a leftover bag of bread and biscuits…
There is always a surprise waiting just beyond the surf…
Your mind is like a merry-go-round that takes you to same place over and over again…
And all you have to do is step off.

I love you,

Annie
