“She loves me – – – She loves me not – – – She loves me – – – She loves me not . . . ”

It never did me much good plucking the petals off of sunflowers when I was growing up on the farm, but I did it anyway.  I guess it did keep the dream alive, and I have known love for real, and also . . .

I don’t know how old I was when I first noticed the reporting of stock market fluctuations become a daily news item.  My paper degree is not in finance, but even back then I thought it strange that people would hover over the daily financial flip-flops that their life depended on, like a daily tracking of an unstable and volatile love relationship, and reacting accordingly.

I conclude that business, finance, and love depend on commitment for the long haul, not jumping in and out with every up and down.

She loves me – – – She loves me not – – – is for the birds – – – or, I guess, the flowers.

But then again, Jesus said to take an example from the birds and the flowers, and not to worry.

I guess that means not to worry about money, or love.
