[Ferris]

I have to disagree slightly on those points.

First off, I work in mud a fair bit and its very interesting to watch, even the smallest speck can look like mountains from the right angle (I dig lots of holes!). Secondly, life does give back to the mud, when it dies it rots, when it deffacates it enirches it. Simple really.

And as to your last paragraph, I know someone who works in the background of her chosen profession and I admire her greatly. She works in theatre, perhaps because I know her I appreciate the things in life that you talk about more?

Nothing better than to think of the hard work she put into my Padded Arming Jacket when its keeping me warm on cold events!
