Is It Normal...?
One of the recent assignments for my homeopathic studies was to finish the phrase "Is it normal to...?"

While we homeopaths were asked to finish the sentence with plausible symptoms, I just could not stop there.

for shiny new things?
is it normal
to suffer ailments
for a cause?
is it normal
to look for your phone
while you are on it?
is it normal

on command?

around your own neck?
image is mine and I sure hope you can see it
