Buckets of Emotional Poop!

Buckets of Emotional Poop!


Don't be alarmed! It can happen to anyone . . .
A dump so large that you struggle to digest and purge it all.
If only it were real poop . . . you would just tip it down the toilet.
The variety that I am speaking about, is not that elegant and the viscosity of it makes it stick for long periods of time. 
We all enjoy friends and family coming over for a barbecue or a cuppa and we are wide open to a phone call that lasts a maximum of forty minutes - give or take. We welcome the occasional seeker who needs to clear up a foggy head or work through some troubling waters and we may be open to a chat about a small insignificant disaster or drama.
What we are not available for, is the buckets of emo-poop which find themselves on our doorstep! Tears are one thing and hugs are another, as well as headache pills, but hours of drama?
Description of Emo-poop: 'Lands unannounced, taking you unawares, comes in truck loads, reoccurs frequently, leaves you dripping in toxic soup and is often hard to remove or extricate yourself from.'
Who is a Carrier: Emo-poop comes with only certain people and you will not spot it the first time, nor even the second but by the third time, dealing with a person, you can be sure that you will find the taste dwelling in your mouth. 

Symptoms: You will constantly feel drained in their company, as if you had spent time with a vampire. You will rarely look forward to seeing them or spending time with them but obligation will have you return time after time.
Your honesty and caring, listening ear and time will be as a beacon to them and they will seek you out every time because you don't know how to say enough!
They will abuse your good heart and precious time because they have all the 
time in the world to focus only on themselves. They will always hit you for something . . . even tissues. When they arrive, their drama will pour out of their mouth before you can say 'hello'. 
What follows their drama, will always be negative and you will eventually want to choke them or receive a phone call, allowing you to end it quickly. They will never take advice and will seldom want to do anything that brings definite change. Their patterns will remain year in and year out and you will still send them a birthday card because deep down you feel sorry for them.
The guarantee: as long as you are a dumping ground for their buckets of emo-poop, they will hang onto you and because of their determination to remain the way they are, whilst complaining . . . 
. . . it is unlikely that they will allow you to change!

  And yet everything says otherwise . . . I will begin with a story that speaks volumes. Years ago I met a dog, who upon approach, always lay down and turned onto its back to show its belly. A very submissive action, and no matter how I approached that dog, I could not get it to stand to be patted or given a treat. I tried and tried over an over, adjusting my countenance, voice and body langauge . . . but nothing seemed to work. So I gave it some deep thought and decided to change my approach, and whenever I was in its vicinity I would go and sit in a chair . . . I did not go towards it at all. It did not take long before that dog would creep over to where I was and the same as before, it would throw itself on the ground at my feet. I knew that a small aspect had changed but it was not enough. So, I adjusted my approach again and when I sat in that chair, I would place my arm on the armrest and dangle my hand just enough over the end, so that the dog could see it.  Eventually,...

The Way of the Wise Soul

  And the paths ahead! The world is weary with information and concepts thrown haphazardly out into the public domain. One would assume that with all the words spliced together to form sentences thickened with colourful meanings, there would be a clear and direct way of smoothly navigating reality. But this is duality! Reality navigation is necessary. The obstacles, options, choices, and unique skills weave a path loaded with dichotomy and adventure. The routes through this reality are designed to go anywhere imaginable and without boundaries except for the limitations within the consciousness of the dreamer. Heavens? There are many. And hells? There are even more because they are manifested by creative minds. Going on an average of daily thoughts per person, we can safely say that it is easier to imagine the worst than the best. Just look around and listen to the voices! Why would the world be in its current position? Regardless of your beliefs about politics, religions,...

An idiot waiting to blossom

AN IDIOT WAITING TO BLOSSOM Like most idiots, the flower remains tightly bound to its current course and holds stubbornly to a divine procedure. It must remain tightly bound and closed to the world for an allotted time before it is signalled to open slowly.   Inside its complex being, there is held a kaleidoscope of colours, fragrances and beauty and the best kept secret . . . the ability to seed others just like it! The idiot in the same picture, does this slightly differently - Bound by time, as is the blossom, and sheltered from the world, as is the blossom, the idiot struggles and resists the natural divine procedure. From within the idiot bloom, there arises chaos and an intimate internal struggle - one half wanting to remain closed and unseen and the other, wanting immediate exposure . Both . . . unnatural. The idiot's struggle is both insecure and unsure, as well as ambitious and brave and whilst being natural ingredients for the right kin...
