A to Z Challenge - Thirst

Thirst

for knowledge, yearn for enlightenment
quench the spirit and soul
slake the dry parched throat
then cram words into the brain

quite the


undertaking

    I wish I'd been the first to connect the idea of thirst with knowledge. It's a perfect metaphor.

    The Thirst for knowledge is eternal and so wonderful. I cannot imagine life without it.

    "Slake the dry parched throat" - that's strong wording, awesome. Now to look up "slake."

    Hope you've been having a nice weekend, Joanne.

    My mind went straight to "if any man thirst for knowledge, let him as God for it".

    Thirst...should be followed by "Underwater."
    That would be appropriate for Texas, no?

    Love the double meanings. Quenching the thirst (no matter what kind) is quite satisfying.
