MAKE A GOOFY FACE
Fear likes a moving target.
If a tiger were chasing you,
your only chance of survival might be to stop, turn around,
and look into its eyes;
then stick your thumbs in your ears and wiggle your fingers.You might as well try anything in a desperate situation, and that seems perilous
indeed – a wild beast’s drooling jaws in your vicinity.Yes, as a last option, make a goofy face.
This could be befitting to situations in life in general.And fear, if it thinks it can’t take root in you, will go somewhere else for easier pickings.
Most roots like something still and undisturbed to grow in.
There are always various aspects of
nature at play that parallel their parent – metaphysical laws.Sit down with a name of God on your tongue, or let your spirit arms reach within and embrace
something sacred there; you might begin to shine.
All that lives in shadows, all names and forms, will then run from –
or bow to – the king of the
jungle … your soul, your soul.
– Hafiz (Persian poet 1320 -1389c.)
If a tiger were indeed chasing me, I may try a Lion’s pose … only trouble might be that …
Lion pose always makes me laugh … especially done in front of a mirror or a partner… it’s not scary – it’s funny:) Bursting into laughter, I might even forget to roar.
