A baby must move away from
its mother’s cove and clutches.
It is nature’s sketch. It is the
same with books. Or words.
Your phraseology, like your
connection with god, is yours.
Others can create their own
without infringing on yours.
I indulge in navel-gazing. One
by one, the generated ideas flow
to other firesides. The mode is
to shed and share.
