Pearls of wisdom can be hard to come by … :-)

Nacre Knowledge

Treating irritants

With wise wisdom coverings

Turns them into pearls

Copyright @ Phillozofee 2018

Author's Note

Natural Pearls form when an irritant - usually a parasite and not the proverbial grain of sand - works its way into an oyster, mussel, or clam. As a defence mechanism, a fluid is used to coat the irritant. Layer upon layer of this coating, called 'nacre', is deposited until a lustrous pearl is formed.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if rain could do the same to the world's ills, Phill? Such an ingeneous haiku (it is, yes?) with just the right bite to its delicate meaning - pearls of wisdom, no less.
