Rolling stones gather no moss…but what if the stone isn’t rolling. Is it definatly gathering moss? or is it just a possibility, and if that is the case, is it a high possibility?
But who ever implied that gathering moss was a bad thing? The saying isn’t meant to be taken literally…it’s a metaphor. One that I’ve always read (or said) in a way that one must keep moving to avoid the ‘moss’. But tonight I think of the converse. I don’t want to keep rolling and staying clean. I want to gather things. Moss included. I want to feel put. I want to gather in the sun’s rays, dance in the rain, and even board up the house when ol’ Bill rolls around. Because if I’m not rolling anymore…then moss won’t be the only thing finding me. Good things will come to, they’ll learn my address and drop me a line if they can’t stay for hot cocoa…
Rolling stones may gather no moss, but rolling stones gather no moss.
