I think that a water buffalo playing a wind instrument to a person works better than an inanimate object doing so. My wife was riding a water buffalo by age 8. She was 38 before she got her driver's license. But it might be that my 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit was a poor muse.
I enjoy folk wisdom ! I understand that some Africans ask " how is your skin ? " rather than " how are you ? ", which makes sense because skin & its present state indicate one's health.
I took cultural anthropology & afterwards kept studying it.
What is a good Indian proverb about wasting a mind ?

Thanks Daniel, that is a good question, none that jumps out but I shall think some more!
How is your skin - nice!
I've thought about using that as a greeting, but some people MIGHT CONCLUDE that I have Hannibal Lecter aspirations !
The Japanese think of the gut as the seat of emotions, so they might say " put strength in your STOMACH ".
lol, yes quite probable! ;-) These examples suggest it would be cool to organize a post around categories and group sayings across cultures!
I am but a simple messenger, a conduit, a carrier of buckets.
