Premium Member enjoying a Jamaican Proverb

Jamaican proverb
“when you see an old lady run, don’t ask what’s the matter
you run too”
I read this and laughed
I am old lady
I get it.
If I am running
there is a bear, a bull or an alligator chasing me
or maybe an enemy with a machete
great advice and marvelous proverb

       between speaking and doing
        there is a long road to walk

          an immense sea to cross

Premium Member THANKFUL FOR THIS OLD BIRD PROVERB

Today I’m thankful for the birds and this old bird proverb
with all the wisdom to us it brings:

A bird sitting on the branch of a tree is never in fear of the branch breaking
because her trust is not in the branch
her trust is in her wings.

A vended injurious tongue begets a curse 
But one who strives to live a clean life is blessed in many ways

Premium Member It Never Rains

It never rains
But it pours,
Is an old proverb 
That still endures.  

For: 
When you’ve a leak in your roof 
And your buckets for drips are ready, 
Why do the heavens always open 
And the rain never fall steady?  

A breakdown always happens 
At the very worst place and time, 
Nature and the elements conspiring 
To ensure we earn our place – 
At the finishing line.

Russian Proverb

We go to heaven, for the good weather,
We’re going to hell for the company.

A Beginnings End

Eat bitter, taste sweet
Do this, rewards you will reap.
Fight, savour, repeat.

Bantu Poem, Shahiri Mussabwa 3

A man is  sick 
And she tells him"
If you eat this middle sugar cane,

Message: 
Beside pure honey, 
There is no a tree or fruit
Which is so sweet 
Than Sugar cane. 
If a Bantu woman reffers 
Herself as middle Sugar can or sugar, 
She means a lot about herself
 Physically 
And spiritually 

1.  She can use her body as first care 
 When a man has fever 
And they don't have some
 tablets in the house.
2. She can be a psychologist 
Of a confused man
3. She can stand with her lover
 In hard times till to overcome
The  challenges. 
4. The middle Sugar cane
 Expressing the sweetest 
Of her privet part 
in romance which every man chase 
And enjoy  the most.

Bantu Poem , Shahiri Mussabwa 1

When you see 
A crocodile swallowing a tortoise,

It will be the end

Message: By forcing something ,  you can call your own death...." in general" 
 In relationship: When a mowan " man " rejects you ,  don't force that relationship because it can end so badly. 
Learn sometimes to accept defeat and moving on. 

...You were not born to  win everything on this earth...
If you want to be always winner , one day you won't make it and end up killing yourself.
