wow, gardener, that's brilliant in it's simplicity!!! and something that makes sense. and actually uses familiar concepts--that whole inner child business.
I can actually imagine an inner dialogue, with that kid saying, "yeah, you thought you got it before, and look what you did--you chose another loser/user!" I learned a lot the last time, tho, and I've learned a lot this time. and I learned a lot about myself and how life works in-between. that's a lot of hard-won wisdom and hard work.
