Sep. 25, 2006 - Are You An Economic Development Wonk? |
OK I Admit I Am! I was googling ThunderBay Ontario (I have a friend from Canada, thought of her, remembered my training month in Canada and then Thunderbay). When I googled it, I came across this amazingly wonderful blog written by a Northeast Ohioan named Don Iannone. He is an economic development consultant and his website http://www.don-iannone.com includes profile information that covers his work with everything from a Cherokee Indian project to work with local governments and publishing journals. The blog is wonderful enough when it gives you all sorts of issues on economic development, but it also has a side project lol. He has a poetry section! I'm going to try to feature other bloggers whenever I can, so we can benefit from their creativity and knowledge.....check out his poetry and accompanying photography! Go to: http://www.don-iannone.com/edfutures/index.html. He has a Zen section too which is fun.
I have a favorite Zen quote of my own from my Zen calendar. It is the post from September 19 2006:
When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.
Kikuyu Proverb.

| This is a test. I am not clicking here to log in but just typing in my contact info. This method works. How was your search of Nigerian proverbs? Did you find anything new beyond the elephants? It would appear I can respond to your e-mail without signing in. . . if this works. |

| Bonnie, there was a site called Motherlandnigeria.com, a slew of proverbs! Only remember two that stuck with me:
when a person regrets endlessly, he gets to pay more for what he regrets.
And then this one which I just now had to look up again for wording:
Rather than tell a lie to help a friend, it is better to assist him in paying the fine for his offense.
There was also one about birds not changing their feathers just because it's winter...but I'm not sure I can agree with that one! I still like our elephant proverb!
Maureen and Bonnie, I am glad you're here and that it worked! |
