Thank you to Dr. Jenson, who is not only a favorite professor and super cute, but who kindly set us free today during Torrey to wander campus creating proverbs. My group and I were assigned to write proverbs about personal relationships. We sat at the fountain, watching all the interactions. I notices the smiles, the hugs, the questions, the chatting, the complaining, the laughing, the enjoying, the hitting, the hand-holding, the conversations, the flirting. I also had the pleasure of hanging out with two of the cutest kids ever, Elizabeth and Jack, and their two stuffed bears. Kids bring forward the biggest smiles, they’re so good for the soul. These two bright blondes made me laugh with their adorable chatter and hilarious antics. While doing one of my favorite pastimes (people watching), I thought about the huge need we have for all sorts of human interaction: the relationships between us and friends, parents, children, a beloved. All vitally important. Here are some of our proverbs:
“As pleasant as a warm afternoon, so is a conversation with a dear friend”
“A smile from a person far outweighs a smile typed out”
“A man may have many riches, but without friends he is still poor”
“Friendships make the unbearable bearable”
“As dirt muddies a stream, so romance muddies a friendship”
“A child is the best reminder of joy”
“People need people, for one cannot laugh alone”
“A friendly smile and hug are worth a thousand good grades”
“As an adult helps a child grow older, the child helps the adult be younger”
“Look! It is good and pleasant to dwell together in love with brethren!”
“As makeup reveals or conceals, so a smile can reveal or conceal the state of the soul”
