I am far from belligerent, probably nearly as far as it is possible for one to be.

Yet I am prepared to stand my ground, and I will relish the opportunity to lovingly invite those who delight in collecting things:

"Please:  take my experiences.  Take the thoughts, the feelings, the seeds I have gathered from all across my world and cultivated through my life.  Take my thoughts, my heart, my spirit.  I dare you."

I am not afraid.
