[Dailydrool] elder Clara at the dentist

[Valerie]

Yesterday I had an unpleasant human dentist appointment--lots of sticking and picking, grinding and drilling. what sustained me was the image of Elder Clara in her basket muzzle, lipperflaps raised, growl emanating, chomping the pen in half when it poked in her mouth. I imagined myself in a basket muzzle (shades of Hannibal Lector), growling, and biting the instruments of torture in half as they entered my mouth. thanks, Elder Clara, for the comforting image. Val
