Anne-Lise, this is wonderful. What a wonderful perception that like a pearl conceived in the silence of the oyster, wisdom is conceived in silence. Congratulations on your win. Blessings and hugs!

Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. Thank you for dropping by my page with congratulations. I wonder if that oyster is in agony while that pearl is formed like with my arthritis while the nodules are being formed . Sara

- No, I don't think the oyster has pain when it forms pearls, Sara ... my grandmother was badly affected by arthritis...I have fibromyalgia myself - Many thanks for your visit and comment :) - hugs
