yes - and (remember?) "we don't tell them things so that they understand; we tell them things so that we will hear ourselves speaking the truth about our own lives. "

Maybe that's why they insist so much that we open our mouths, as impossible as it can seem at times. Maybe writing it isn't the same.

sorry Rainbow , still at same time you are working away, even when it is hard, and that is wonderful.
Thanks for this!
