When I was a little girl both my mother and my grandmother would say this proverb when I wished for something I couldn't have and my vision of the "jolly beggars" has been with me ever since.

It wasn't until I was much older that I realized my childish interpretation of this saying was probably not in line with the lesson it is intended to teach!

Still I feel my vision is sound, my beggars are joyful and not burdened by material possessions but need only freedom and each other. Is anything worth more?

The idea of "going out with the tide" runs deep in my native west coast culture. If you are interested and can find the time (how do we ever manage to find enough time?) you may enjoy a look at,
