Egg on face,

so,
you turn yourself
into a scramble
thinking
you
appear
~golden~.


But,

one can't fake
purity
without
separating
dross from gold.

Your sizzle spit
technique
contaminates,
not
conceals,
breaking your
sunny side up pretense.

Like the rest
of us must,
try a hard boil
next time
to crack
open your ego,
and get
~real~!

Then,
you'll
~shine~
naturally
from
within.

.

Pat

Love the wise words of your egg thoughts...a great metaphor!  Trouble is, now I'm hungry.

Pat, I love the way you do this. I'll bet you could tell somebody exactly how you feel about them, without even making them get angry with you. (smiling)
You have just got that way with words.

(smiles) Oh my gosh, I just love your uncanny views of wisdom, that is how Uncle Herschel always likes his favorite at the Cracker Barrel! (giggles) This is sure sunny-side up, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Patricia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I'll take my eggs over easy, please

Unique metaphor!

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

Everyone reads...
let alone, understands.

Very good!
