I like the way you think!

M.P.

I have found that befriending Mary has been enough so far. I have tended, and loved her, and shared her with people with real Medical need. It is a beautiful thing to be a part of. I find it fascinating that we can imbibe the spirit of a plant and get to see the world through it's eyes. That relationship grows as my willingness to open up does. It's amazing!!! I actually find that I use Mary less as I get to know her and myself more. There are moments when I need my own lens, and moments when I need a pair of Mary shades.
