But is it sage? Because in my memories, it could be. A herb – but I‘m not sure about its appearance.

We should never close our senses. There are new things to see,hear,feel,smell,taste. Let the child in us always be alive.
I’m going to taste olives tonight. I promise not to hold my nose. :(

So many great tidbits here today.
A gentle touch.
The braided bread, and its meanings.
The hitchhiking mantis.
A tiny home and yard where sunflowers could grow & all the different families & could live, mermaids could swim in the pool out back and watch young people solve problems.
Thank you,Beth!
