What happens to me when I'm provoked is that I get tongue-tied and my mind goes blank.
Kathleen in You've Got Mail
Ah... how I envy Kathleen
Blessedly at a loss for words!
When I am provoked, my mind fills up
like a lagoon at high tide,
leaving only little islands of higher ground to which I wish I would flee!
leaving only little islands of higher ground to which I wish I would flee!
When am I going to get it?
If someone throws a line
and you take the bait
you are cooked!
But let it go by...maybe even throw in a kind word
and you both live to swim another day
and that's poetiquejustis
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
1 Corinthians 13:5
