Re: Restaurant Girl, my love

She's apparently a Muse, too -- no apologies needed for poetry of any kind or quality, not in my book!

It's a beautiful thing you and RG have, GaK. And it's nice to know there are still a few parents out there who don't buy into the whole "Stranger Danger" nonsense; I got some of that very early on in my own childhood (from outside the home.) My folks had more sense in them, though, and they made a point of teaching that back out of me, and highlighting to other parents just how silly it is. (There was a particular true story of a boy who was missing and kept hiding from the search and rescue teams because he'd been taught so well to stay away from "strangers." It's harmful in many ways...)

And you have it so spot-on... we don't have to do anything but trust and be trustworthy, to care and be kind, and hearts open so beautifully. You're both quite fortunate!
