Indian fig Ficus, many other varieties. Edible fig relies on a moth to fertilize and produce fruit. Neem leaves use medicinally and to protect plants from insect damage. Each aphorism takes the reader to many more metaphorical places. Lessons of life. Wisdom of ages relevant today and tomorrow.

Words, from Kamala Harris word salad to golden nuggets of wisdom. Aphorism...maxim, adage, proverb, fable, saying, axiom, saw, platitude, epigram...and more. Scrabble, crossword puzzles, anagrams. Words for recreation, endearment, rallying the troops, imparting knowledge, marking the cadence of a march, encouragement, dissuasion, praise, scolding... What a gift we were given, an augmentation to grunts, growls, mewling and howls. Words, nuanced with tone, inflection, maybe a raised eyebrow, smirk or smile. Thanks, Jayshree. You do words nicely.
