A wise old owl once lived in this oak; the more he heard the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard; if only more people could be like that bird.
Marigold’s usually hidden modesty prevented her saying “I am yet again the greatest in another category.” Her channeling of Clay/Ali is clearly flawed.
If everyone listened before they spoke, the world would be silent. Maybe it would be better to practice conversational turn-taking and paying attention to whether the other person is happy with the topic.

THE BUTCHER
Millie was a little girl in a small town on the outskirts of North Carolina. Every morning Millie had a routine. She would wake up, get dressed and then go out to the butcher shop to get bacon for breakfast and steak for dinner. On this day when she went to the butcher shop she didn’t return. Her parents had known she always went to the butcher shop so when they woke up and Millie was gone they immediately walked down to the butcher shop. When they asked the butcher if he had seen Millie. The butcher said that Millie hadn’t showed up that morning. Millie’s parents back tracked to see if Millie had left any clues. When they found none they went back to the house to see if Millie was there. After they checked the house they got worried. They called the police and got them involved. The policeman checked the trail Millie took. They found footprints leading to the Butcher’s. The policeman were suspicious. They walked into the Butcher’s to a horrible sight. On the cutting board lay Millie. With her arms and legs chopped clean off. The butcher was above her blood spattered across his apron. He looked up and saw the policeman and Millie’s parents. “Lights out.” He said with menace as the room filled with knockout gas
One week later everyone was talking about how a lot of policeman had disappeared and the Hutchins family had too. But one small insignificant problem was probably the biggest part of the puzzle. That week all of the meat bought from the butcher’s shop tasted off. Nobody really bothered about it and no one really knew why it tasted off. Except for the Butcher. THE END

But succeed, and you’ll gain all the powers of a mime. The ability to create large invisible things.

Leaf through any Peanuts collection and you’ll find strips where nothing is said until the last panel. I’m just sayin’.

All of our friends are not the same, for some the ability to sit in peace and silence helps us, and with others they listen to what we need to say.

Muhammed Ali had nothing compared to Marigold in being the greatest……

All Marigold hears is “the greatest.” She’s a glass half-full kinda gal.

Phoebe always looks cute with a pony tail. And especially cute with a unicorn one.
