I am sparrow
Picking her leftovers
Of rice in her mortar
After having pounded her with pestle

Reminds me of the birds who are attracted to the smell of linseed in putty, especially on window sills and frames Sage !
I wish you well in your current endeavours Sage, and all the additional work you are now proofing for other professional authors, and the promotion of your books, and additionally your radio appearances !
Look forward to seeing you back posting in the Den in a month's time master craftswoman !
God Speed !
