Man's perception needs changing - it's not the winning or the losing - It's how the race is run - The end result is what counts - Especially to help the planet and humanity in the smallest possible way. As they say 'What goes around, comes around. A most perspicacious insight Demetrios - You've done it again with a Big 7+

Slower is often faster. The beautiful flower you posted never raced for her graceful and poetic survival; we have much to learn! Poetry hugs ... CayCay (I peered long into the flower and got goose bumps!)
