"I am trying to
see things in perspective.
My dog wants a bite of my peanut butter
chocolate chip bagel. I know she cannot
have this, because chocolate makes dogs
very sick. She pouts and wraps herself
around my leg like a scarf and purrs and
tries to convince me to give her just a tiny
bit. When I do not give in, she eventually
gives up and lays in the corner, under the
piano, drooping and sad. I hope the universe
has my best interest in mind like i have my
dog's. When I want something with my whole
being, and the universe withholds it from me,
I hope the universe things to herself:
"Silly girl. She thinks this is what she wants,
but she doesn't not understand how it will
hurt."
