7: the feast

Some chose the feast, and some chose famine. 

Some chose what nourished and sustained; some chose what was bitter, caustic, toxic. 

Some stole from those who had chosen more, and some shared with those who had chosen less. 

All was laid out for the choosing, Dark and Light, Winter and Summer, Love and Fear. 

Throughout the day the children discovered, and chose, and played. 

And the mother watched them all.

As Gifting Day began to draw to a close the mother called the children to her once again.
