benzinha, you caught me out. There were as many opinions
as there are in any family gathering. But, in the salad were onions. However, the idea of opinions in the salad is beginning to grow on me!!!! You have acopy editor's eye!

greenfields, in the greater scheme of things, men must protect women....
as they rule the world in most corners of it....
And rituals, in this too busy work world, are sometimes the only reasons, excuses, times that we make for gathering with people that we miss and forget in our rushing about.
And I loved your phrase, "opinions and tomatoes", it made me giggle. Were there opinions amongst the veggies?

Pat B, life is a long chain of interdependence I believe
and I think many cultures and religions have various traditions.

I think this is an excellent tradition -- formal recognition that brothers
should protect sisters. In my family I was the older sister, and it sometimes fell to me to protect my little brother. So the sheltering can work both ways. Thank you for your comment on "life in the fast lane." You are right, of course. :)pat
