Reality can take us by surprise; especially those moments when we discover that we are not who we thought ourselves to be. You know the moments I’m talking about. Like when Ms. Independence shows up with all her belongings---again. Or what about that bright, fleeting moment when you sit down to type only to find it’s the same moment the dog has to go outside; the kids are hungry; and the lid on the pickles is too tight.
Stress, frustration or just being ticked off beyond measure; these are the moments of our life. Unfortunately, these are the same moments when a side of us which we thought dead is suddenly resurrected. That mean, nasty growl which springs up at that moment is the real us. We may tell ourselves otherwise, but self-deception is not a safe refuge.
“From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh…” And when it speaks, it speaks the truth.
