Ear

Grateful am I, when I have a migraine and my washing machine has died and one hundred other mundane metaphorical ducks too minute to mention are pecking me, to have a listening ear to whom I can complain about my aching head and my wretched appliance.  Even though my brain still hurts and my laundry is still waterlogged, I feel better for having spoken my grievances aloud.  Now I can move on and tackle All The Things once more.

Someone to tell it to is one of the fundamental needs of human beings. ~ Miles Franklin
