Who or what has you by the tail?

There are many experiences and events in life that come and go (pay attention to "go" ;o) where you feel someone or something has you by the tail and hard as you might run, claw, scramble to skee-daddle and get away, well, you just feel "captured". Okay, first of all, I guarantee you "whatever" it is, if you stand back from "it" and look at it apart from the personal aspects of it, you will see "it" laced with irony. Which is good! Because seeing the irony in whatever has you, will soon be followed by a smile or two, then a shrug, a chuckle, your eyes begin to sparkle again, the blessing of a simple life "re-capture" you, and soon everything seems ok, again. If you lost something or someone, remember this Danoism: If you're not enough without it, you will never be enough with it. In life, I believe, we all can get what we want. If you missed it, if it went away, if you lost it, it didn't matter anyway. Another Danoism: You can't push a rope. And as my good friend, Eddie Vedder says, "It’s nothing as it seems. The little that he needs. It’s home. The little that he sees is nothing he concedes. It’s home. And all that he frees. A little bittersweet. It’s home. It’s nothing as it seems. The little that you see it’s home."
