Just sitting here pondering a few things about life... how "yellow-bellied" implies that someone is a fraidy cat, but Rocco's whole underbelly is a bright yellow and he is neither fearful nor is he a feline... he's not even a chicken; he's a parrot...
I'm wondering where the term "Lilly-Livered" came from and how that particular word combination came to convey the idea implying that one lacks courage.
You know, there are two sides to every coin.
I've been reading some this morning and I love how so many authors can say so many words but leave you with the final task of assigning meaning to those words... interpreting... discovering what she was talking about in what she said but did not actually say. Encrypted, encoded, undercover conversations that are only one-quarter had... because only one of the two involved parties is talking and is only saying half of what she means.
Maybe I can learn to do that someday.
