Hi Mary,
". . .to see beyond the usual view." Would that we all could all the time.
But, alas.
As Rollo May put it, "We hear the songs of angels in a symphony, we bow a
moment
to communicate with infinity, and then return to digging potatoes."

Lots of potato digging going on here -- not that there's anything wrong with
that. But,
even here, once in awhile, a glimpse . . .  worth all the digging.
