“If you chase a pigeon away, it will come back and poop on your head!”
Wisdom related to me by my daughter, stated as fact. It happened to a friend, see? She chased a pigeon away and it came back and pooped on her head.
As a 50-something grown up, with a lifetime's experience of being around pigeons, I must admit, I was a tad skeptical.
“You don't really believe that, do you?”
She paused, to give the notion due consideration.
“Not really no, but it did happen!”
No doubt. And so begins the wearing in of a little neural pathway.
🐦👐🏻💩🙀🧠
It's taken root in her mind enough for her to relate it to me.
I bet it's taken an even stronger hold in the mind of her friend – whose head actually got pooped on!!
And this silly little tale contains a salutary lesson for why it might look like your life's currently falling apart.
