It may not be easy to maintain but it can give you some of the things you need. Same goes for me, I may be a little crazy (ok a lot), quite possibly hard to maintain, but in the end I also may be the person that can give someone everything they needed and more.

Plus I didn’t have to do all the extra back breaking work :)

I used to tell people that I’m sort of an introvert but I now know I’m not. All I need is a gentle shove every now and then to speak my mind. And I do get those shoves every now and then if I’m forgetting to tend to my Baobab. But mostly I try to tend to my Baobab properly myself, and if I do say so myself: I’m getting better at it. (-;
I should probably actually read The Little Prince…

I am glad that you are down here now. Working on land and with the Earth does give you a reconnection that is really nice. I always like the part of the day when you sit back and can say…”look at what I have done.”

I can relate to your dynamic, I go through it all the time. On one hand, I do try to be an easy-going, low-maintenance person … humble in the best senses of the word … but so many times I think that just enables other people to ignore me or take me for granted. I need to work on that.

Still, there is the false sense of permanence in The Little Prince’s mindset. Would life in the baobab trees be all that bad? If The Little Prince weren’t there, wouldn’t a baobab planet be the natural order of things?

Yes, I tend to parse in the most annoying and inconvenient ways.

Thank you for having the courage to share your thoughts and struggles with us, and in such compelling, entertaining ways. You are loved!
