13 May 2018: "I don't allow myself to answer, very often; but swallowing volcanoes isn't good for the soul's digestive organs." --Lucy Larcom, in an 1857 letter to a friend, explaining how she holds her tongue around a certain colleague.
Ran across this little gem while doing some research this morning. I mean, tell me that isn't a terrific metaphor?
I actually find myself trying to swallow fewer volcanoes these days. Feels pretty good!
