The Purpose of Grass.



I Almost Forgot.

The purpose of grass isn't to be mowed.  It isn't something for me to work on and slave over so strangers will approve of what it looks like when they go by.

The purpose of grass is to sit on - to feel cool and soft when you roll on it - a place to lay when you watch the sky - and to provide that single perfect blade to be picked and stretched between your thumbs when your hands are placed together correctly and you blow on it so it makes a sound like some kind of unknown giant bird.  The purpose of grass is to surround you as you play or sit and laugh with your friends.  I knew it well when I was a kid.

I just remembered that.

Obviously this isn't one of my regular posts.  I wanted to say it, but didn't want to include it in my regular post, so if you didn't see yesterday's posts, it is still there.
