No grit, no pearl.

In another pearl of wisdom

from none other than

Scottish born Oyster

Kilpatrick himself.

Beware the oyster

that doesn't let go,

it may be a clam,

and no oyster

is home without a pearl.

I'm just telling ye,

don't get your kilts

in a twist

for the world is

not your oyster.

I love how your nebulous shellfish warning could apply to the way we pick the wrong type of shell to try to thrive in or perhaps we have the right shell but no grit to begin the pearl of our life's opus. Some people plan their lives in excruciating detail & blow a gasket when life doesn't cooperate. Others of us just bumble along accepting & enjoying whatever shell-creature mysteries are out there! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

And that's about it Margie, we just soldier on, thank you for your words. I suppose like all menus in life, we pick something, we try it, if we don't like it, we never try that again and move on lol.

I like the thinking here. The world has never been my oyster, so I am unlikely to find that pearl. Hope you are doing ok Andrew.
