Thanks for your kindness
Set me free so that I may live
I’m too fat to fly.

Author’s note: This is a quote via a book from a photo uploaded into my second cousin’s Facebook account. She and her family are too fat and they need to go on a diet.
I asked, “Father, what makes those two birds different? We have the very same ones living in the trees? I feel sorry for them, locked away like that.”
Father had answered, “Ah, but they are the lucky ones. They are always assured of being fed. The others must fly day and night searchng for one piece of bread.”
I remember my response. “But the others are much stronger without being hand-fed.”

It’s what you feed you children.
- If you feed them hatred among your kinfolks, you will spread the seeds of death.
- If you feed them stolen goods and services, you will spread the seeds of lies.
- If you feed them falsehood against your enemies, you will spread the seeds of anger.
Feed them love among the poor and the innocent. Your rewards of gratitude and blessings will be with you always (and beyond measure of the undeserving inheritances of once hard-working, now dead people, of course).
