If we try to hold onto something, we may lose it.
Wanting something too much Is the best way of losing it. Your obsession with it leads you to abusing it. Check your motivation in your choosing it. Hanging on too tight might cause your bruising it. Your sense of values may cause your confusing it. �Those who try to make their life secure will lose it, But those who lose their life will keep it.� Luke 17:33 (NRSV)

I sat outside a store and became aware of the flower pots in front the store and I thought how it must feel about the attention given to the flowers.
