Offbeat Sayings, Or The Art Of Wisdom By Trial And Error

Offbeat Sayings, Or The Art Of Wisdom By Trial And Error

Hello to all you lovely people...
For years now, I've been writing little Hallmark-moment-style wisdoms. I call them "offbeat sayings, or the art of wisdom by trial and error". Some of them are okay I guess. All of them are a lot of fun to write. I find it a totally different head space to writing poetry or short stories...
I went through a phase where I was into mysticism. I wrote some wisdoms based on that perspective, some serious, some just for fun...
Here's hoping they get a chuckle or a pondering raised eyebrow from just one other person...
Hugs, my lovelies... 🙂

Love your list @Silenus

Right now I hear as much about the budget as I can take - so

I recollected many years ago when I got involved with things I found demonstrating a great thing to do - it's really heady and I felt as if I was part of the solution

So - here's mine 10 cents worth

"If the stance of a budget or whatever - gets up your nose - picket

If enough people get together and march and chant - just imagine.........

Nuff said - I'm hiding
