Thanked: 485Thank you. I can explain it if you like? I'll take that as a 'yes'...
Notice the capital 'H' on the fourth line then the lower case 'h'; on the fifth, that's me on the fifth line. I need to know what I say too.
Last year I did this, I bobbed around in this little bay on my back with arms thrown out and closed my eyes and just let myself drift. It was hard. I kept opening my eyes. When I DID close my eyes it was the most relaxing, primal thing I've ever done, the day was warm and still; gentle waves. I love the wild ocean, I used to surf a lot. I love the connection with nature, and hence with God. That's why I love dogs. I call them 'little pieces of creation' and I call them 'people'. In fact, I call all animals people. I walk up the road and see a lamb and say 'how are you, little person?' I guess they could take that in a derogatory way, but I mean it in a respectful way. Often, I'll respect an animal more than a human. I delight in nature still (even though we're f*&^ng it up), and if I can see a Black Shouldered Kite hovering in the sky on my drive to work I'll count my day as good. One needs to see and value the little things. The little things are the big things. There are no other things than the little things. God is not big, He is small, very, very small.
[EDIT] This is the bay...

Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

Thanked: 485Another poem of mine that says what I mean, it's called 'Show Me Your Best'
Show me your best
Show me your best and your best and your adulations
Show me your soft brushes kissing faces
Show me your nation's young steel makers and wine makers
Show me your university students
With satchels and youth
Show me your houses filled with scents and feelings and food
Show me all the houses of the voluptuous wine serpents as well
The scuttles full to overflowing
Show me all your dissertations
All the studied and worked upon ones
The ones that classify, judge and segregate
Show me all your segregations
Show me all your strength and truth and justice and right
But hide from me your wrong.Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

I trust you understood that carrots were a euphemism. If pennies work better or bottle tops of anything you can think of then please use it. My point had nothing to do the object but everything to do with the actions. There was no "theory" just a statement anticipated results. Also I'm not treading anywhere. I wasn't purporting to support any side of any issue. I was pointing out the obvious facts.
Keep your concentration high and your angles low!
Despite the high cost of living, it's still very popular.
