Proverb of the Day

I started packing today. I don't know where I am going, but I definitely have to leave this place. While going through my books I found the little book of "Proverbs of the Sene-Gambia" that I found in the shelves at Camac in France this past June. I have no idea how it got all the way back to New York. But I know you have really missed the Proverbs of the Day. Calm down.

152. Better say earlier that you are afraid to go on the roads alone than going half way only to return to ask for company.

I agree with that. I love company. And if you had seen the terrifying apartment I did tonight you would agree we all need a little help from our friends.

Proverb of the Day

I found a little book called "Proverbs of the Sene-Gambian" here in the shelves at Camac. I think I will share some with you from time to time. This book is from 2004.
