The Talmud says that "Each blade of grass has its Angel that bends over it and whispers, 'Grow,grow.'"

What a beautiful thought, that flowers bloom (intentionally!)to bring us pleasure! THe other half of the equation, though, is that for the pleasure they give us, we should water and love them. Once we make something ours, we bear some responsibility for it.
"We are responsible for what we tame; we are responsible for our rose."
(From The Little Prince---I think)

Hell, Guaguin,

Im'm not up on India or the Middle East, all I know is that plant bloomed for the first time in twelve years when mama died and was dead in the morning.

Made me a little more in awe.

My mother had a second cousin who went to India in the 50s. I watched some film of a cow starving to death. When she went down and died the people were like ants. I can still see the image of a woman with a piece of raw intestine from a sick cow drop it in a dung filled street, wipe it off and eat it raw. And I get upset when my prime rib is a little over done.
