To Be or Not To Be

A little kingdom I possess,
Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard the task I find
Of governing it well.
~ Louisa May Alcott

...that more or less describes my situation!

~A Wise Man Said~

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

The sun does not have to

Make a case

For its brightness

Nor the moon

Write proofs

Of its beauty

The things that stand out

For their attributes

Must stand for themselves

Compel us

Move us

To give credit

To what we

Cannot but

Lay witness to

There is a lesson

To learn

From these

Luminous agents

To not argue or contend or justify

What is most precious in us

For to those who have an eye

It must, it has to, be visible

And for those who don't

No number of arguments

Could sufficiently paint

A picture of one's merit

Just as the blind man

Cannot encounter the glory of the sun or the moon

With copious description.


~Me
