Welcome to my garden. Come in, take off your shoes, and let me offer you a seat in the shade, a cool drink, and friendly conversation while we enjoy the beauty of the day...
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. ~ Kahlil Gibran

Sibling Rivalry
The Sprouts have begun arguing over which one of them 'owns' Grandma, Grandpa, and Mommy.
I am so tired of hearing "MY mommy" and "She was MY mommy first!" that I could scream.
I think stuff like this comes from being indoctrinated into a culture where everything important is limited. (schooling does this in spades, but so do most religions, and just the normal culture) Some people I know have addressed this by pretending that nothing is limited, which I have to say is just stupid.
The truth as I see it is that there are some things that are limited and some things that are not. Love is not limited. M&M's probably are. Cucumbers in the summer are not limited. There are none in the winter.

Interesting thought, CG. I hadn't thought about it in that way before, but you have a point. I will have to ponder this one a bit more....
