Love

And it’s the puppy again that sets impatience in motion.  The center of me becomes dark, ugly and explosive.  Morning comes again too quickly and like the dog I try to domestic I become not domesticated.  Wild emotion fills my present moment and all thought is lost to emotion.  Contain it I think.  Where to today God?  To the bottom of the barrel?  To the place where love is displaced by anger?  Lead with love I tell myself.  Put it on like a coat even if it does not fit. Put it on and cover up and perhaps one day love will fit you completely.   I borrow the words saying them loudly to an empty room.  “Lead with love”  I put my foot forward.  It’s a shaky first step one that falters’ on tired and trips over indulgence.
