Sometimes we get surprised,
Lizard on the ceiling: close up of the mysterious, ceiling-dwelling lizard
By a lizard on the ceiling;
Humor can’t be lost,
In the search for meaning;
Inspiration may be forced,
Sadness may be fraud,
Truth may be obscured…
And the world may need some healing;
When there has been forgotten,
The chance -
To look at sky,
To look at trees,
To look at others,
To notice the lizard on the ceiling…
It laughs back at us, with us;
Life has a funny way,
Of letting us in,
On secret jokes of Nature, yet -
We make our own puns,
We know our own nature,
We are our very own -
Lizard on the ceiling,
The best thing about living,
Is the surprise of waking up;
Sometimes we get surprised,
By a lizard on the ceiling…
It’s not supposed to be there,
But there it is, and -
That’s the meaning, of -
Trying to answer the asking,
Of your being;
Sometimes we get surprised,
By a lizard on the ceiling.

(And, yes – there was actually a lizard… on my ceiling.)
My friend staring at a tiny reptile above the bed... this is what happens when you leave the doors open all night, I guess.
There is an interesting lesson to learn from the Lizard on the ceiling. When others cause trouble to you, you may relate this: They think their interests are more important than you, and their action will not have any results, as if they have full control over the cause and effect machanism of the universe. This is like a lizard that thinks it is holding the roof. If viewed in this angle, the painful situation will turn out to be a fun.
