Peace and Carrots





He sat cross-legged under the shade of the fragrant cypress tree thinking about how the current challenge was not unlike setting the table for dinner. You want it to be the best it can be, BUT, there are issues, always issues. Like if the lens of your social camcorder is scratched or dirty. Clean it, replace it, learn a new or better way to use it. And keep the bastard in focus. Then, another issue, give all the credit for "your" success to those on the team: The farmer, the harvester, the vendor, the sous, the waiter. And take full responsibility for any, repeat, anything that might go wrong. The dinner cruise doesn't have to sink just because the carrots taste like lifepreservers and the peas like green steel. Or like peace and carrots.
