Thank you for the cherries. I actually enjoy these proverbs, some of them are very amusing, especially when people say them wrong. My inspiration for this was my dad who always used to say, 'what's good for the goose is good for the saucy gander...

I found this very calming to read. A eulogy of restraint combined with ritual and luminous beauty.

That didn't feel like 5000 words, it was so enjoyable and entertaining.
I'm sorry to hear that you lost your dog, Skye.
