Wondering About the Glory
One day during the golden hour at the end of the day mulling things over while feeding bread to the turtles I wondered, what will it be like to simply keep the gates open and let the water flow when the bladder wants it to flow all natural like?
In other words, what will letting myself pee as soon as I feel the urge, without giving it a second thought, be like? Will it be liberating?
The Third Leg
There’s a third element that fits into all these revelations I’ve been having.
I can’t help but feel frustrated with everybody always being pissed off like you’re pissed off or I’m pissed off and she’s pissed off or he’s pissed at her and everybody’s pissed at somebody while some are pissed at everybody! When this girl, the only intelligent person in the whole group, spoke out saying, “But don’t you realize? It’s so much better to be pissed off than it is to be pissed on!”
The room got quiet then everyone started clapping and agreed. She really put everything into perspective for me. In other words, we should be thankful for what we have instead of lamenting what we DON’T have because often what you wish for is ten times worse than what we already HAVE.”
A Similar Razzle
That comment about being pissed off reminded me of a similar razzle that occurred one day when I had a fleeting conversation with this guy in new York way back in the mid seventies when I mentioned I dreaded having dinner with my in laws. The guy got real serious, came a little closer and in the softest matter of fact tone looked around and said, ‘Let me give you some good advice.” He looked around again, locked his eyes onto mine and said, ” It’s a lot better being with your in laws than it is being with your outlaws.”
Boy howdy, did that ring a bell with me!
