This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 27, 2008:
It has been such a week of sharing. I love sharing. Dawn and I just shared some decaf coffee at Explore Book Store and we sort of shared some soup Parsnip soup. I like to lend out things I have because then those things have more adventures and the sharers do to. Kiley has has been sharing her dog Tuk Tuk with me and Gnomi. The clouds have been sharing their contents. The wind has been sharing it's blow.
One more thing to share is a bit of survival information I found while researching punk wood.

"The gathering of tinder, and perhaps more importantly, its dry storage is one of the most critical aspects of many survival situations. In some cases the lint that naurally occurs in the belly button has been sufficient to start a survival fire."
Now that is the last thing I have shared

sadly, my clothing has shared no lint with my navel lately. :-(
I’m sure to die if caught out without any tinder for a fire.
Lint in belly button you say? Will try to remember that…. When we started our solstice fire it was a little hard to light with our punk wood. We needed to go inside and get kindling from our ‘real’ woodpile before the fire would really blaze. When I went to wilderness survival school they said use the tiniest dried branches still on the trees. We were too lazy to do that last week….
So, I guess navel gazing has it’s advantages after all.
Love the expression on Gnomi’s face
This morning when I went to the convenient store to pick up some eggs and a cup of coffee, the total came up to $3.19…and I said to the clerk…I have some change…and I stuck my hand in my pocket and pulled out some change and in the mix was a chunk of lint. I asked the woman if lint was worth anything…and she smiled. But now I know, it could save a life…or aid to ignite a funeral pyre.
My brother’s family got a dog since the last time I visited and I took him out to the backyard Christmas night for a run around in the snow and a game of fetch with his stuffed Elmo – definitely one of the highlights of the trip. I haven’t played in the snow with a fiesty puppy since I was a kid myself. Sooooo fun! In moments like that you can remember when life was all innocence and pleasures were simple. No wonder you take Gnomi with you wherever you go. Animals are such a great reminder of what is important and real.
