...Wonderful deep troves of spiritual simplicity. <br /><br />Almost feel like I was there. Next time you really must capture your lecture on video and post for all to watch.<br /><br />BTW, your first act of violence against birds was not at 12 with a BB gun. It was when you were 4 or 5 and climbed up the back porch railing at our house in Earl Park and robbed a robin's egg right out of its mother's next and had the misfortune to accidentally break it. Mom excoriated you. <br /><br />What I most remember was what a sublimely beautiful Tiffany blue the egg was and how it contrasted so starkly with the splash of yoke defacing it.Cat McGuirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333836381527924494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228105277973973913.post-32480864692103801222016-04-25T05:02:52.567-07:002016-04-25T05:02:52.567-07:00Great Read, Tom!
