Puppy


Once upon a time there was a puppy.  He just loved to play.  He was full of fun and happiness.  He found his bliss so easily.  A ball, or a walk in the park, or his favourite dinner... life was simple and life was sweet.  And he was full of love.  He loved to wag his tail and make friends.

Yet when a human follows 'his joy' and just does the simple things that make him happy.  Whether it be singing or dancing or painting or cracking jokes, sometimes others come along and say, "Stop that!  It's sinful."  Rules for this and rules for that.  Shoulds and shouldn'ts.  Obligations.  Judgements.  Restrictions.

It gets hard sometimes, to just be happy, to just be yourself.  Is a puppy sinful?
