Poetry:
The Poet Speaks.
How much living have you done?
From it the patterns that you weave
Are imaged:
Your own life is your totem pole,
Your yard of cloth,
Your living.
How much loving have you done?
How full and free your giving?
For living is but loving
And loving only giving.
Poet?

Mexican jumping beans resemble small tan to brown beans. They are a type of seed in which the egg of a small moth has been laid. It is the moth's larva which makes them 'jump'.
