Evian bottled water. When you spell the word backward you get NAIVE.

We often think it is worse until you actually find out how bad it can be. Be grateful for the pebbles, they are better than slamming into rocks.

I stumbled over a pebble and slammed into a rock.

Good meditation for naively living in this dangerous life. In the middle of the road, the same rock rolled up from a mountain of troubles moved only by faith.When the hormones stamp and play, they roll on the paths of life, I do not try to stop them but just keep them like frolicking goats or crazy horses. I pay attention to horns or hoofs .

and the moral of this monoku is "watch where you're walking." Sometimes stumbling blocks prevent us from falling off a cliff. Nice write, Klio.

Hi Lin, Yes indeed. And sometimes that same stumble pushes us right over haha. I have learned that life is always full of nasty little stumbles. Enjoy your day.

Yes, Heidi. We should keep that in mind Heidi. Life is not so bad when we realize that things could be so much worse. Have a nice day.
