I had not read this is many years. Beautiful!

Thanks for the quiet moment!

Peace,
Bubba

Edit: I went to look for this where I thought I'd read it previously and discovered they are not the same at all. Similar certainly but not the same. But this is wonderful in any case. Boy how our memories fail after 50!

And how wd you know that, infant?

[wemyss]

You're ageless.

And, thank you.

It really isn't the years so much as the mileage.

That was lovely. Thanks for posting it! ^.^

Thank you.

I'm glad it pleased.

I like the portrayal of the ox and the donkey. Yes, patient and kind.

The wise eyed wether makes me smile. When I was a kid my mother was quite nautical in her speech. (Read a lot of Pat O'Brian,) she would talk about keeping a 'weather eye' on things.

I always thought she was saying 'wether eye.' And that it referred to sheep. Well, sheep do watch things carefully, after all.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Chestertonian of me, but I can never resist making the ox, Thomas, and the donkey, Francis. I'm rejoiced that you liked it.

Ode to Joy, right?

That'd work.

[wemyss]

And I gave you sheep!
