Re: [SG] gardening as a profession/ & George


Hello George,
        I found it interesting the two approaches to the same question from
Carmel. Quite a bit like the rest of life, huh? One will always get all the
answers they can handle and all will be from the perspective of the giver.
All equally true. So. How does one choose from all the different "truths"?
Finally it ends up the one who asks must choose a path they are creating as
they travel. We all carry our own lantern and shovel as we walk. The rest
of it is you, I, others putting up signs to be read, ignored or
reinterpreted.
