watering the sunflowers

there is always, within me (and likely within others in our "profession") a huge question / wonderment as to who is calling the shots

is this my highly-developed skill or a flat out "gift" over which I have little control

I guess that it's actually a little bit from each food group; but probably the best answer I can come up with

is that it's a gift that comes with a certain amount of responsibility

"are you going to take care of the horse, Andy, if we get it for you?"

yes yes yes YES please please please I want a horse !!!

who knew they were so much work :) !!

so knowing that horses or cats or chihuahuas or sunflowers need special care doesn't mean they're not gifts

and for anyone who has ever "had a cat", you FOR SURE know you don't "own them" :)

a gift -- sometimes I think "fuck it, you feed the horse I want to go hang with my friends and drink tequila"

but always -- it comes back to this

magic needs special care

without it, your life kinda sucks

so, bottom line, no matter how much "work" to care for "it"

I offer a toast to "the gift" :)
