I recently read a poem called Frilly.
A metaphorical excursion into the being of the lizard and the nature of the author.
They say emotions come from our lizard brain.
The most fundamental and primitive core, beyond intellect, beyond reason.
But as humans our thoughts must surely stimulate the chemistry that triggers reptilian response.
Fears can be invented or nurtured with narrative. Likewise we can take encouragement and model ourselves from the gifts of others.
Even a lizard has something to teach.
Now is the time that dragons are seen. Their colours are splendid and they puff themselves up. Ending months of hiding, they come down to the ground fearless and proud.
