Earth Questions the World

What are you doing? The robins whispered. Enticing the crocus to bloom, earth said. I thought that was Wind’s job, a cardinal interjected. The robins flew off, intimidated by his colors. Earth rolled her eyes Not understanding separations. Robins cannot get along with cardinals. Cardinals despise blue jays, daffodils hide from roses. What kind of a world am I living in? Earth asked herself.

Ah, a very, very good metaphor, Caren. I have often asked that very question. But then, I try to make it more like the kind of place I'd like to be. At least around me....

I never can understand why any people WANT to not get along. It seems crazy to me.
