Eminently theft-worthy intellectual property, I’d say. Has the ring of a timeless proverb — which of course means, folks will ascribe it to the Bible and you yourself are fated to get no credit for it at all, Sarah. Never pays to be brilliant, Sarah. Never pays to be creative. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
I was going to reblog it, but I can’t find a reblog button.
I think if you go into the post itself you’ll find a reblog button? If not… you’ll just have to repeat it along with proper citations!
I’ll see if I can’t fix that flaw on the site, thank you
Yeah, for the sake of poesy, maybe I stretched things… most people probably count both. At least I hope they do. But I know extremes on either end of the spectrum!
Darling, I want to answer your question but I’m not sure what exactly you are asking? What is me or someone I love trying? If you want all the dirty details and backgrounds of my poems, you can always email me. Everything I write is a little truth couched in a little fiction, so it’s hard to tease them apart without a lot of explanation
Wait do you mean trying for babies? That’s totally not what I meant. But it’s a gorgeous interpretation and makes me wish I was as good as you give me credit for.

Reblogged it! The button wasn’t showing earlier, but I think it was an add-on on my browser that was causing the problem.

I tried like hell to get the reblog button to show up on the main page.
And then I gave up like hell.
Thank goodness you figured it out for yourself!

Why not count both …
and cut out the middleman?

Um, Sarah, none of my business, but are you or someone close to you trying or is it just the opposite? Don’t answer this if you don’t want to. Mona
