> 
> I take a photograph of this plant and post it on the web...the art of giving
> the art of seeing
> 
> I see a child with a skinned knee sitting on the curb alone crying

> sidewalk with a rock as a crayon... the art of giving, the art of caring,
> the art of teaching, the art of listening and the art of seeing.
