trees shade while the leaves play with the sun and wind in a game that still makes God laugh a game of life? no a game of being yes a game that revels in the existence of being more than being alive the leaf exists so that the sun may shine and that the wind may blow for without the leaf the sun could not caress and the wind could not whisper the trees would not grow and the secrets of the shade would not be shared with the grass ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.

 This brought back a memory from my high school days. We had a biology teacher who tried to fool us into believing that the leaves movement on the trees was what caused the wind to blow. |

 (smiles) Yes, and this also comes to show that everything is interdependcent of something else and the sun makes the leaves as the water makes them healthy and shade is what protects them! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, I love the way you think, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
