Thanks Di, that is the great thing about learning from nature, it teaches more than just the obvious.
It taught me about myself and how I let people and situations irritate me. How a negative mindset can creep in and mess up a perfectly natural learning opportunity and how many times I want to just squash a problem, instead of learning from it. How I don't like people telling me I have bugs in my way of thinking when common sense tells me everyone has these bugs in one way or another...myself included.
The story was fresh on my mind along with all of this debating that has been going on about pH balancing. A refreshed parable or fable.
