"Kicking Hives"

Detail 3



None of us go around intentionally kicking hives, unless you indulge in acts of stupidity or false bravura. But life is a teacher and getting stung are it's lessons. Those instances and experiences that we are occasionally subject to causing enough alarm as to affect the fiber of our being and shakes us to our foundations. It reprograms the hardware of our thinking and emotions. Honing attention to details with a degree of microscopic scrutiny. One lifts their head towards the winds with a sense of discernment that can literally smell a drop of blood through a sea of charm, wit and charisma. You hunt, or be hunted.

It elicits physical reactions..... No, those are not butterflies in your stomach...... they come with first kisses and public speaking. These are rather venomous barbs that bounce around your viscera, shortening your breath and your steps as you try to measure the situation and weigh it against "fight or flight".
