Seeker, what a perfect summation and reflection on those moments of conflict with another person. Those angry moments almost become an "ear worm" going round and round in our minds without resolution. These simple lines so reflect your understanding of the ways negative experiences influence our desire to reach "bliss" - moments that even disturb our sleep. And "so we reflect!" Thank you for this work of poetic art. Sending you blessings for calm in the chaos!
