Dear little mammal,

Remember that you are indeed just a

little mammal

Sometimes you forget that and then you remember again

Sometimes you do things that don’t feel right, that don’t feel natural for a

little mammal

And then you feel tired wondering what went wrong

Well, everything went exactly right

Your body sent you all the right signals for you to go hide in your den

Your body also told you when it was time to go out and breathe fresh air again

And spend quiet time with your natural friends

And it felt good

It felt so simply good

It wasn’t such a hard nut to crack after all

It never is

If only you listened more carefully

You’d always remember to come home.

The others are little mammals too, love

They have their own needs, which will be different from yours

Indeed

You can’t force them to be the way you’d want them to be

You just have to let them be free

‘Cause they’re little mammals too.

Sometimes their way of being may hurt you

No doubt your way of being may hurt them too.

Silly mammals

How easily we forget

We forget and we remember again

We are not but for them too.
