Eyal, my sweet grandson in Australia, can help illustrate another Yiddish proverb.
If a stone stays in one place, it becomes overgrown with grass.
Az der shteyn ligt af eyn ort vert er oykh bavaksn mit groz.
.אַז דער שטיין ליגט אויף איין אָרט ווערט ער אויך באַוואַקסן מיט גראָז
English proverb expressing the converse: A rolling stone gathers no moss.
German gloss (unattested): Als (wenn) der Stein liegt auf einem Ort wird er auch bewachsen mit Grass.

P.S. I added an update to the earlier post if you'd like to learn more about illegal firearms in my country.

Thank you for a post to appreciate on many levels. Good Shabbat to you, Dear

ReplyDeleteDina I believe in some situations is true
ReplyDeleteSweet shot and I need to apply this to myself!
ReplyDeleteWe have a similar saying, but I can't remember it now...
ReplyDeleteI knew there was a reason that I stay on the go all the time. I don't want to become overgrown with grass. Shabbat Shalom! An Arkie's Musings
