Wood of Aloes

Some days, I have no words. The mind is… it’s not empty. It’s too full. The words tangle up on themselves and won’t flow.

    That’s cuz yer lookin’ at the tail lights. Try looking at the headlights instead. 😉

    1. I think it’s safer to be looking at the tail lights!

  2. *hugs* No worries – here’s to doing other things until the words all come out in a rush!

    Was that really supposed to be wood from a species of Aloe, or did I miss something?

    1. Wood of aloes is bitter, hence my choice for the title. It’s not what we think of as aloe plants now – they aren’t woody. But in old books (like the 100+ year old copy of Sinbad the Sailor I was looking at just before I wrote this) you’ll find references to the wood of aloes as being valuable.
