"The problems that lay before
you are not as strong as the
ancestors that walk beside you."
~Out of the Broom Closet
'Midst the sorrows of the last
few weeks, I ran into the above
quote. I have no idea who this
author is, but the wisdom is
there!
This led me to ponder the words
of our own grands in my family.
Luckily, one side of my kin flies
under the Pantheist umbrella and
the other, Christian. So, I accrue
wisdom from both sides of the coin.
'Tis often words from one grand
or the other come to me. Times
I chuckle and others, I cry. Simple
adages and folk sayings such as . . .
"Don't get your panties in a twist,
no harm - no foul, take it easy, get
over it, mind your own business,
what the hell's wrong with you?"
I know! I know! But, I did say
simple, didn't I?! I look at these
and I think about them. They are
basically quick ass responses you
wouldn't expect out of the mouths
of wisdom. Still, behind them is
a bit of magic that reduces our
humungous woes to that with
which we can cope.
And of course, I'll never forget
the real sit down talks that truly
matter above and beyond the
quick and dirty rejoinders!
Sooooo, I will gird up my loins,
sally forth and conquer, to quote
one of the grands! Or, maybe, just
maybe, this is one of my own!
Go figure, I come from good stock!
Get the hell on with it, Linda-Dale!!!
