I can see being carried away by that. I hope the bushes survived. Displacement. I thought my notes said it was originally "The Hedgeclippers of T. rex." Sorry. Got carried away. T. Ruth.

Hi Rambi. I'm having a good day. I am surrounded by non-human beauty, not that I have anything against human beauty, oh goodness, no, heck-heck no, but when I said I am surrounded by beauty, as one of a list of things I was starting, I thought it might sound a bit harem-ish (sorry, Ish) and insouciant, so I quickly improvised and stuck in there mid last-letter-before-next-word strike "non-human," to eliminate any exposure to prurient perceptions ~ well, truthful perceptions of prurience ~ but "non-human" made a different effect, than simple modifier, and things got out of hand worse, way worse, actually, than if I had just gone with surrounded by beauty. But you have to admit, surrounded by beauty, CAN be hinty of prurient. Yowza. Yes. That's what I think. "Surrounded by beauty at arm's length." "But no further." Non-human is better, now-a-days, than "natural," wouldn't you say? Hasn't "natural beauty" lost its say-ness? Does it say anything? "Natural" beauty? ("Yah? So? So what.") (Except describing humans.) Non-human says a lot, though. Too much; maybe. But it's not stellar beauty, not technically; and it's not geologic beauty, certainly; and it's natural, but hardly; being irrigated, like Pampers. Uhm ~ I should go back to That List, of things making me feel good. Not that "things" make me feel good. I think that is a trap we should not fall in. We don't need "things" to make us feel good. Things like massive exotic floribundae. Like heaven. Okay forget those. Item two, is that I sent someone something I thought was "neat," and I just got an email back from them saying, "Hey! That was neat! Can I have that?" Well....yah!! You bet! By all means! That's why I sent it to you! Isn't that exciting? A little? Nice? Not that we need things to make us excited. ~ Wilt
