Guest guest Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Rhubarb Gazing I stood looking at my rhubarb today 5 plants in a row they were completely full of sunshine their skin was completley green without dead spots or bug holes they were erect shining wind-dancing I stood a long time watching them again and again I thought: what is it like with them? how do THEY feel? I wish I could say that one of them spoke and said: we don't feel unless you feel for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I really said to the rhubarb was: Watch out that Bob Bobji Baba doesn't come grazing on you. And One of the plants actually did speak and it said:You mean Booby Baba don't you? And we enjoyed a hearty laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'yes' and 'no' are here not mutually exclusive. there actually is no difference between these two or any two 'choices'. all is folly. ..b b.b.
