A lot seems to be whatever step is elided here (the how of this consequence). Having nurtured it, it grows up and becomes what? Or having nurtured it, we can allow ourselves after to walk away from it? It sounds like it's still "there" after we forget it...RThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04486972270932294981noreply@blogger.com
