Poem Artwork

To flush a vessel
And then carry it
When it is full to the brim
Is not as good as
To leave it unfilled a bit.

To sharp a blade
And regrind the edge
Does not help
To preserve it well
For a long utilization.

Wise words of the hard-working farmers of the field. Why waste water, time and energy to waste water on the path? Why have to aggressively oil and keep a blade when it was not necessary to sharpen it out of season.

An interesting insight that I hope to remember. There is such as thing as too full or too sharp.
