Here Lies the Snow Leopard...

...curled, covered, camoflauged in the deep snow of the Himalayas; wrapped in her tail is an old weathered book - faded and cracked leather binding, pages flimsy with age peeking out from the cover.

"I came for the book" you say.

The Snow Leopard scoffs, breath misting the frozen air in an irritated huff. "So you have," she sighs.

She unfurls her thick protective tail, slowly, as if the action pains her; and in a way it does - to reveal this tightly kept secret to you.

You bow to her gratefully - you've ached to uncover the book for so long now...

You pick it up gingerly, as if cradling a limp sleeping baby. Finally! The mystery is right in your own hands.

Tenderly, you lift the worn cover and read...

I'm No Angel But I'm Alright

I feel like you think I'm better than I am.
I'm not some perfect angel.
I get mean, I bicker, I snap, I get bitchy
I irritate. I curse. I struggle with myself.
I fail God countless times. I fail at surrendering.
I get sad, lonely, needy, clingy.
I communicate at my own leisure.
I'm not responsible, I get tired, I get lazy
I dont feel like it, I procrastinate, I constantly feel left out.
I'm scared of nearly everything.

But I have a good soul, and I do want to be better.
I'm always trying hard. I want what's best for me & you & the world
I wish everyone loved everyone. I frequently kiss babies and snuggle dogs,
I gush profusely in baby-talk to both.
I'm childlike and sweet and sometimes naive
I refuse to dabble with alcohol, drugs, or innapropriate behavior.
I love God and want to be closer
I care about the environment and believe in everyone doing what they can.
I'm a unique being with creativity bubbling through my veins
I am defensively loyal. I can be ridiculously funny.
Even if I can't do much, I always wish I could help
I adore hugs like nobody's business.

Posting this because I'm reckless and ridiculous and careless.
