So crisp and meaningful, Caren ! The bitter experiences of life are purifying flames of fire. Just as gold shines with heat, we grow stronger that no adversity can touch us ever.

And so it does, Caren. We never get too far beyond our roots. Sometimes this is fortunate; other times, not so much.

It is crazy but we carry that little boy or girl with us throughout our lifetime and sometimes into the next one.
