I wanted to smell that beautiful jasmine in front of my house,
it was past midnight and I was so sleepy.
I stepped forward to inhale the perfume with a smile on my face.
With the first step, my smile faded.
I had crushed an innocent snail.
Got me real pissed off, I forgot the jasmine and slept in a bad mood.
Watch your steps while following your instinct.
Drink.
I love how you wrote it...
ReplyDeleteAnd, true... I don't believe in the power of instincts. The mind is more powerful and it is what should and must be utilized. Unfortunately, this is funny coming out of me because I am absent-minded half the time. The other half I'm busy with academia ;)
Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThe mind SHOULD be utilized however, I too am an instinct-follower and that snail encounter has made me realize it ain't always the best thing to do, so I took a decision of watching my steps from now on...
Yeah right..
goes to show you that you won't reach what you want and love unless you sacrifice something along the way.
ReplyDeletea better ending would have been for you to still smell and enjoy the jasmin...
(i kinda feel in a LaFontaine story now :P)
If u talk about following instinct, the snail shouldn't be there!
ReplyDeleteKeep following jasmin and all the beautiful flowers, try to fly so you will stay away from snails :)
fleur interdite...
