I like this cute word!
I am carrying my heart~I am carrying my rhythm~I am carrying my prayers~But you can't kill my spirit~It's soaring and strong (Paula Cole's Me Lyrics)***We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We ARE spirtual beings having a human experience.(T.deChardin)***There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

I used to love teeter-tottering on the playground when I was a kid.

Teeter-totter,
Bread and butter,
Wash your face in dirty water.
These modern safety playgrounds make me sad. Bring back the teeter-totter!
Farmer, farmer,
Let me down!

--What will you give me? And the 'Witch's Hat', an insanely lethal piece of child-maiming mayhem, which we all adored. And that giant rocking horse thing made of steel which seated about eight children for about forty-eight seconds, after which we picked up the wounded, mopped up the blood and remounted. How we had any teeth left at all is testament to Angelic intervention as far as I can see. Teetering on the brink of a nostalgic/psychotic break, here. 
I've seen nations rise and fall, I've heard their stories, heard them all, but love's the only engine of survival

Well, X, your childhood playgrounds were undoubtedly different from mine. I have no idea what you are talking about.
(BTW, if you stop teetering on the edge of a psychotic break and actually fall in head first, PM me. I know a good psychiatrist.)
