The Vagaries Of Friendship
For the most part, I keep close friends at a distance because I cannot control their variables – which can affect me too easily.
Catch and Release
Two more young mice steaming up the trap – one with delicate, round-tipped ears perked and quivering.
I gently tossed them out into the field beyond – which was very cold and sopping wet.
Was this more humane than killing them outright?
Once warm amd dry, now raw-exposed to the elements?
Unraveling Complex
It is not easy to be discovering and acknowledging that a lifelong sense of shame has been from carrying the burden of others’ disowned accountability cast upon me at a very young age for crimes I discovered, but did not commit.
(Runaway – Pink)
Clemency
It felt good to live-capture the four young mice and set them free – rather than kill them with cruelty.
(Global Biotics – Nitro)
Never A Right Time
After the explosion with extensive fallout and negating, suppressive messaging, it never felt safe to tell her mother when later traumas were happening.
It Must Have Been Real
Too many things add up to the suppressed traumatic event havimg actually happened.
(One Day – Bootstraps)
Dragon Flight: A Helping Hand
As thickening dust clouds billowed around her and the ground trembled mightily underneath their feet from her bucking leaps, the other dragons feared to approach and help as they dodged sudden blasts of explosive fire from her desperate attempts to somehow burn off the parasite.
But one dragon better assesed the situation and acted.
Recognizing a type of pattern evolving in her erratic struggle, he lept high and seized an opening to land upon her back and grip her torso tightly, wrapping his limbs around her long enough to bite the cursed thing and rip it off from her head, sending it flipping.
He then pushed hard against and away from her in time to prevent her fear’s response from flipping them both backward – and as she recovered from being flung forward into the ground with a smothered “oof!” he hovered majestically above the scene and set the being’s carcass on fire with a victory cry.
Dragon Flight: Grounding
Desperately wanting to belong but sending the other landed dragons scatterimg, she floundered about roaring while flapping barely healing wings and stomping wildly scrabbling claws as she blindly shook and tossed her head in attempts to get the controlling head crab to let go of it.
(Still Loving You – Scorpions)
“I Will Be There”
Music by Scorpions, “Still Loving You.”
Angel’s Down
I find it significant upon having certain important dreams that I awaken to snow falling softly onto the ground.
White Wolf
In human form, he occasionally paced while standing guard outside of hall entryway doors, distraught yet displaying assured composure with neutral stance for observers to gain no advantage.
But in wolf form, he came to me when I called softly as I drew near to his position and let me take his worried, heavy head into my hands to cradle it and give him soft, playful smacky kisses over his forehead to help calm his nerves.
Then, I crouch-settled and protectively wrapped my arms around his long-furred shoulders to give him shelter for a few moments in a protective, comforting hug.
