April 15, 2018, Tempe-
I felt like a fish out of water,
yesterday and today.
It’s not that
the place is awful.
It’s quite beautiful here.
It’s not that
the people are disagreeable.
Even in expressing
an alternate opinion,
my fellow Baha’is
are quite loving.
No, the problem was,
I left my do Terra supplements
at home.
These make all the difference,
in my body chemistry.
(Two hours later, in Prescott, I am back on an even keel. This is not a mistake I’ll make again!)

Love you, Gary. medicine, natural or prescription, makes all the difference. I made two statements that sounded racist in our small group, although our friend was not offended, because I think he saw my intent was good. Other people in the group, however, may not forget.

I think that although our emotions are affected by our chemistry and hormones, we are definitely still in control of how we behave. Interesting poem!

Yes, and I managed a modicum of civility and good sense, despite a low mood.

That is good to hear, but it’s also healthy to express emotions so that they don’t become repressed.

At least you can trace the source and know how to fix the problem! Hope you were still able to get a little enjoyment out of the trip!
