*Warning*! Deep thinking, enclosed. :-)

See those "sort-of-X's-of-light", mid photo?  They were not out in the snow.  Since I took this photo, through window glass, and "into" the sun, I guess those (sort-of-X's-of-light) are an effect of sun, on the window glass.  Cool effect!  :-) 

And it happened three times.  So naturally, I had to post all 3 pics!  "Surprise Photo Op" kind-of...  Never, never, never pass up such!!!!!!!!  :-)

I am not scientific.  Don't have any bend-that-way.  So thank you to "Ellen In Oregon," for explaining, why candles seem to *eat smoke.*  :-)

I have another *wonder.*  And don't know how to prove it, scientifically. 

But......................................

On Earth... 

Every living thing, is made-up-of-and-from other things, which have been living....   In other words, no cow eats some plastic, along with her feed, and incorporates that plastic, into her calf, growing within her.............    Nor do any other animals, do so........   Nor do human mothers incorporate random pieces of plastic, into their gestating fetus.............

Living things, are made up, from other living things, which have died.

Sooooooooooooooooo...  If one holds that each human, has a unique 'soul' or 'life force' or whatever one wants to call it.....  Then it can truly be said, that no other human being, was ever exactly like each of us are, as to our unique 'soul' or 'life force'....   

BUT  THE  BODY!!! 

Every ding-dang body, is made up of previously living stuff.  Bodies are made up of constantly reused stuff-of-earth.  So NO  BODY  can be believed to be totally UNIQUE.  Our body (and bodies of other living things) are made up of the Earth stuff, which was here in the beginning....  And is used, over and over and over again....  Earth stuff, being used to birth living things, which live and die and decompose back into the Earth, and are then used, by coming generations. 

The Original Form of Recycling!!!!!!  

YES????????

Gabe was telling us about ducks, which he learned from a book.  Complete with arm movements, to show how ducks flap their wings, when they fly.  I asked him for another demonstration, and I got this.  ,-)

This Header pic will soon be gone, because Valentine's Day will come and go.  And I LIKE it.  So I'm "keeping" it, by posting it.  :-)  It was one example, of the effect which I try for, a lot.  And don't usually accomplish it.  Up-close-is-clear...  Distance-is-fuzzy...  Particularly wonderful, for capturing *fuzzy* faerie lights...  :-)

We are not the same person this year as last;
nor are those we love.
It is a happy chance if we,
changing, 
continue to love a changed person."

I think that quote above,  
is one of the most brilliant sets of words,  
ever thought of, or written...
