    Perhaps a small thing to some, but looms large in my journey seeking understanding that brings people closer...like learning a foreign language.
    Ahh bless you! English sarcasm is said dead pan leaving the recipient wondering if it's serious or not, for some reason this adds humour to our already warped minds.

    Wow, Russ, I have some weeds in my garden that have leaves that look just like the ones on the jpeg you posted, plus they have these cute little buds growing on the ends of each 'limb'. Medicinal herb, I believe...ones the bees around here just won't leave alone. Legal to grow indoors or outdoors in my state with this magic little card my son got from a place called CannaMed.

    Hahaha. How fortunate, caring and considerate of your son. I, on the other hand, have absolutely no idea what you're talking about of course....

    I need to learn how to do that. How much fun would it be to use that on Americans who are not known for their subtlety!

    Oh...wait...I guess you do know how much fun that is already!

    So sorry for the mess we made all over your thread, WMG. It really started out well...I mean, the op was...umm, metaphors can mean all kinds of things to all kinds of people...

    I am a bit confused here. WMG in this thread, did you mean to elaborate on the revelation in biblical terms or just intended to check how witty all TOTers are? I am not sure if this is another thread for a jokes or as it was already mentioned some for of humor or what did you mean by posting this:interview: prophetic quote??

    On a lighter note, our garden gave us a delicious squash today. Not planted this year, but allowed to grow unhindered.

    Har Har Har, thats what endears me about this wonderful place, the strange unfoldment of ideas and thoughts, charming and enlighteng and never dull.

    In response to your question Altaira, I am not entirely certain on the why, lets put it down to whimsy and curiosity :-)

    I still think that there is different intention rather than curiosity WMG but since you say so ...

    Look, if you makes you feel any better, I will proclaim my ignorance for all to bear witness, I honestly had no idea it was taken from the Christian bible, and do you know...so what if it was, I liked it and wanted to share

    I just wanted to say that there are no coincidences and you might want to find out more about it. This might give you an answer youve been looking for.
