My family will rapidly recount stories
of what happens when you fall in the path of fire breathing Snappy the Dragon lady.
Why I can’t recognize myself either when I don this dragon avatar.
So this week’s intention is to let go
of the fire that Snappy breathes.
If Snappy is frustrated or disappointed, maybe she can try
and cool her dragon tail before interacting with the family. Or maybe Snappy
could do some breathing techniques (the non-fire breathing kind) till she becomes
zen-dragon. Okay, somewhat zen-dragon will work too. For there is no need for
my stress, pain and fears to affect my interactions with my family. Especially given the terrible guilt
and remorse I feel later. Sigh…dragons have hearts too.
Snappy has been around for a while now
and getting rid of her is going to be difficult. She believes she has earned
her right to be here given how hard things can be for her. So it seems unlikely that Snappy the dragon will turn
into a soft purring kitty overnight. But simply noticing her when her she
raises her dragon head, soothing the same fierce head and gently leading her to
the door may be a good start.
Staying firm, compassionate and determined and not giving in to the dragon
within may be the only way for me to train this dragon...
How will you train your dragon?
