The day I faced a peacock was the first day of the rest of my life. We discussed politics, religion, and argued with all kinds of strife. This peacock’s eyes narrowed, I could see by his beak he did not agree. Without malice or gloating, I admit this did not bother me.

This one is exceptional, Caren. I loved the painting, which the quatrain explained so well. Your talent is absolutely bamboozling.
