whimsy
“Oh! Oh! Oh!” Thalia looked through the window at a grey-brown landscape. “We should get a baaaaay-beeee elephant! That’d spice things up! Says here — they only cost about one-hundred thoooooow-sand — U — S — dollars.”
“Stop scrolling.” Urania looked at Henny who was snoozing in the wing chair. “We have enough spice.”
“Nia’s right about the elephant…” Calliope admired Paintist’s nick of the pachyderm, “… as Dragon Slayers… there’s room for folly… but not elephant-sized.”
The path to enlightenment and wisdom is seldom trod upon because if it was all a matter of following your bliss and doing what made you happy then everyone in the world would be a paragon of wisdom. But it’s not that at all. It’s a matter of facing what you least want to face.

P.S. Check out a story from our favorite quip-sharer Jack! He and Deb headed out on another covert mission of gratitude.

I never considered the difficulty of drawing a baby elephant’s ear! How does one master that? Left foot, right foot. As it were. The AA Big Book has this line: “Trudging the road to happy destiny.” Then adds, “to walk with purpose.”
Whether trudging or “being rocketed into the fourth dimension of existence,” (also AA) I take inspiration from how you approach and stick with tasks!
Now if I could just find my blissful path?! 🙃
