"Love is what we are; we don’t get it from somebody, we can’t give it to anybody, we can’t fall in it or fall out of it. Love is our true Being.”

#TreeofLife - A heap of Misery
Tales from The Tree-of-Life
...a heap of misery...!
....high up in the Tree-of-Life sits a heap of misery!
It's the miserable monkey wrapped up in Arctic Gear....thick woolen keppie pulled right down over her monkey ears, mohair scarf around her scrawny neck, an alpaca shawl around her shoulders, with knee rug pulled right up to her nose!
She's surrounded by a sea of soggy tissues, and the pile increases as she empties her wet nose yet again! More are added as she wipes her streaming eyes! On her left she has a row of muti....Lennin's Borsdruppels, ViralChoiceC pills, Linctagon Throat Lozenges, nose drops, throat spray, eye drops.....aiiii tiggie, misery doesn't come any better than this!
!!...ahhhhtchooo...sniff, snifffff, cough-cough....!! Ai tog.....!!
Suddenly, Cheerful, the merry Elf, appears in front of miserable monkey....and lafffs! Nogal! "Hey, wot you so miserable for???? It's only a cold, you know...not a life-threatening 'something', you know!!
Monkey looks at this little cheerful lot and gruffly herrumffs, telling Elf to "get lost and leave me alone in my misery!"
Elf laughs some more and sits down. Hm, seems this Cheerful Elf isn't afraid catching this miserable cold....and Cheerful continues (no way getting rid-of or stopping this annoying Elf!!) and says..."You know, if you really want to be so miserable , why not make the best it? Why don't you go right in there and feeeeel your inner-self...enjoy the whole experience....immerse yourself in your misery and your discomfort, feel it all acutely....and while you're doing that, see the funny side of it all, because it's actually very funny...hahaha!"
Huh? Enjoy? Funny??? You gotta be kiddin'!!
But, wait a second...while pulling out another fresh tissue for the flowing nose....on second thought, it IZZZ rather funny....I haven't had a good cold in years, and....ummm...Monkey begins thinking more deeply about this, and sees what a gift she's been given! She's being 'cleaned-out', rejuvenated (reprogrammed?)...oh boy, could it really be that, and not just some damned inconvenient uncomfortable random thing??? There are always so many sides to any story...and this is nothing more than just another chapter in the exciting life of Monkey!
Ahhhh, suddenly she feel much better....and together with Cheerful, she enjoys a good, strong cuppa mocha and bites into a square of 90% cocoa bean Lindt slab!
OK, so life isn't that bad after all!
!....aaaaaahchoooo, sniffff-snifffff, cofff-coffff.....!!!
....er, poor Wolfman sits down below...he too 'suffers' with me...we seem to be sharing the cold-experience together...kinda figures!
