Foreward: In sharing with my readers, the following was written declaratively to an abstract ideal which I decided to call "Kitten" and attribute qualities of kittens; this was so I could have a clearer target. I decided this abstract needed comfort, and therefore warranted one of my mandates. (Yes, I do, in fact, have the responsibility to give mandates in my own imagination!)
Oh, Kitten. Do not be sad, for you are Kitten and Kitten is not meant to be sad. It is meant to be happy, and full of playful and benevolent inquisition until its energy is gone, at which time your fuzzy embodiment becomes overwhelmed with tiredness and you take the rest you so rightly deserve. You are Kitten, therefore you deserve your rest.
As well, it cannot be helped that Kitten be loved; for kitten ELICITS love as a response and then as a drive. Therefore, *I* love you, Kitten. Do not forget that. hold it close as one such truth you can find, and sleep with it close in mind grasping nothing but it and the knowledge you have built up as a result of your play, which you call study. This, I humbly ask in effect, because it will help you, as will your sleep, and I wish you to be helped because of my love which you elicit. So, sleep now, beloved Kitten.
This is weird.
