Marsha:

SA: Well, it may have not needed to come from you, but it did. Depending on
our orientation, if I face south, east, north, or west or towards you or
somebody else, different events occur. At this moment you softened my heart,
but I still disagree with them.

SA: I don't know. I find disagreeing to be creative. We can agree, but when
something fishy is happening I think it's fine to disagree. I've kept peace at
the heart of the disagreement. It's not like I want to murder them or
something.

SA: Thanks. That is a huge compliment. And yes, we do create ourselves with
a little rain, sunshine and earth to grow. Dash a little bit of this, and that
and now mix - taste good.

SA: Yes. Thank you. That is what I've been suggesting. "Not just the mental
work", meaning, mental work included. The whole one with nature understanding.
It's not a goal, but an understanding, meaning, one with nature is here it's
our philosophies that may reject or accept such a way.
Thanks Marsha. This has been a thoughtful, and heartfelt walk in the woods.
