“Words today are like the shells
and rope of seaweed
which a child brings home
glistening from the beach
and which in an hour
have lost their luster.”
~ Cyril Connolly

Hmm, that’s thought-provoking, Gail. Yes, what value has a word?

Aww, this is a little sad since children do consider their shells as “treasures.” I do agree, they move on and may discard their treasures. . .
Adults, on the other hand, don’t use their wisdom sometimes to make a difference or show growth.
Have a beautiful beginning of the week, Gail! π»πβ¨
