Yes a metaphor does never fit in every detail, and certainly the resemblance in the way they walk, their rather large front teeth, and in the way a pregnant one is full of some kind of hidden beauty? just my own ideas that may have inspired that choice.
I used to be a shy and retiring sort, although recently I coordinated a "Sunday Service" about Buddhism. It was well received, I spoke about "Misunderstandings about Buddhism." I was accused of being a "Sage on the Stage" by way of insult, which I denied, but now I have decided to claim this as a brand. Now available: poems, Canto Kusala, about Buddhist teachings, and two books based on Buddhist teachings from the rational tradition. An email file copy of these is available to anyone upon request. I am teaching as a second career, now a substitute here in Pullman, WA, and otherwise out to pasture. I do a lot of volunteer work, including for the local Literacy Council, the Food Bank, and trustee for the Unitarian U. Church. I do remodeling and fixing up around the house, keep busy with landscaping, counting California Quail and running errands. I like to travel, and visit grandchildren and their various parents too, and it seems like we get around somewhere about every other month.

Awesome...why a walrus?
Baba,
Don't you see the resemblance?
