“Life is like licking Honey from a Thorn”
“My grandfather was sparing in his praise of apprentices. My grandfather insisted we think for ourselves and achieve for our own satisfaction. Deep study of the mysteries were their own tough path, he always said. To live for the approval of others was a pitfall that begged a false turning.”
“Pet my 3:33 pm like it’s a beard. Live it, but don’t lick it.”
“... and had a face like a bulldog licking vinegar off a thistle...”
“my grandfather always says is "too dry" even if it's soup.”
