Writing Proverbs: Read Up and Reflect

Take a breather and relax, a few as you wish. Read lightly many proverbs maybe of a theme or just read from start to finish. What are the recurring words, themes or images that strike you, interest you, arrest you, captivates you or overwhelm you? Note them all down and delve in the strongest felt one, or ones if you like. If lack of a dominant one, choose one and record all of them down uncensored.

Have you got a proverb or more? Reflect on it or them and collect them for publish or re read them at later times to experience what they mean to you. Compare with other proverbs and feel whether you make a good contribution for anyone, meaning is life better than if without the proverb you created.
