 "When you see a bit of earth you want,"he said with something of a smile, "take it, child, and make it come alive."

                            The Secret Garden
                                           Frances Hodgson Burnett

 I am the daughter of Earth and

       Water,

  And the nursling of the Sky;

  I pass through the pores of the ocean

     and shores;

  I change, but I cannot die.
                                P.B. Shelley
                                Poet: 1792-1822

To solidify a bond with another person

Takes two willing people. Together....find any bivalve with halves still connected. Use as you would a wishbone... each of you grasping half the shell. Both instill the same thought or feeling into the shell while holding it... concentrating on strengthening the connection between you. When the energy reaches its strong point, pull the halves apart, each retaining half.
Keep the shell near you. If you ever desire the bond to end, take your half to the sea, fill it with feeling, and toss it back into the water.

A photograph is a secret about a secret.
The more it tells you the less you know.
                          Diane Arbus
                          Photographer, 1923-71

No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.
