Very wise and helpful reminders Roland. Letting go of what no longer serves us to ‘compost’ it and create a better future is both wise and doable.
Kind regards

That was beautiful Roland, especially since I was playing with and admiring the vultures yesterday. On the second floor of this house on a little deck, 8 or 9 vultures were soaring all around us. Not over us but around us. They were flying through the oak trees in the yard. My friend was very excited and threw some little bits of ham on the ground. They checked it out carefully. Next morning while working the garden I found one of those big vulture feathers . I stuck it on her door with a note of thanks from the vulture.
Stunning, Roland. So well phrased.
wonderful analogies Roland, thank you so much
