No two snowflakes are identical (at least that's the thing they say..), thus the beauty... But they are the at the same time, the same because they are all snowflakes: frozen water crystals, etc. In a snowstorm, each snowflake together with millions of others makes up that storm...yet if a particular snowflake was missing, there would still be a snowstorm.Lance Fosterhttp://hengruh.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1208084550257016582.post-83941080851660281202010-06-07T06:44:10.404-05:002010-06-07T06:44:10.404-05:00::applaud:: Well said both of yous.

They are young, and even if they aren't young they are young in the tradition, and all of this actually interacting with deity business is most likely new to them, so they get very, very excited like a small, yappy dog. <br /><br />That said, I too, occasionally wish to flick them in the forehead and tell them to sit quietly while adults are talking. Luckily, I've found that most of them reach critical mass relatively quickly before they can do any substantial damage, and either drop out or finally cough the last of Special Snowflake Syndrome out of their system.<br /><br />One thing every magical teacher should pass on to their students is a set of critical thinking skills.Mr. J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08992497721332168579noreply@blogger.com
