Maybe Eat a Mango

 Maybe Eat a Mango The face is glum, the day is ho-hum, When the blues come a-visiting, And the heart feels heavy, When your footsteps are slow, And your mood is low, Maybe eat a mango. Nose sniffing the ripe fragrance, Senses awakening to yellow radiance, As water pours over the mango, A small corner of the soul a-washes, The knife carves out goodness, As it cuts into the mango’s tenderness, With wafts of sweet delight swirling the air. You bite into sunshine, gold, Your heart assumes the softness of the mango, Your face melts just a little, Your eyes unfreeze a smidge, The mango’s glorious taste consumes it all, The blues, the mood, the ho-hum Maybe eating a mango turned the day around.

Burnt Tongue

 You can find similes for life in pretty much in anything in your environment.

Why, a burnt tongue is the perfect metaphor for things going wrong in life and how to fix them and what to do until it gets fixed.

With burnt tongues, all you can do, is try to fix the immediate effect with something cooling like yoghurt or ice cream and then, wait. Yup, just wait. 

Because you just can't rush somethings in life. A burnt tongue is going to feel tasteless and prickly for at least a couple of days. There's no doing anythign else - just wait. If you can add patience to the wait, that will certainly help. 

And just like fixing broken areas in life, you do all you can do and let go...let it be...let time do its thing.

You cooled that burnt tongue. Now, let go.
