The brevity of Wisdom

Eternity

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy
He who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise

                                        William Blake  1757-1827

 

Pedigree

 The pedigree of honey
Does not concern the bee;
A clover, any time, to him
Is aristocracy.

                                       Emily Dickinson 1830-1836

Wise words that stand us in good stead if we are
wise enough to apply them…

Best wishes,

I think you're on to something, Morgan.
The low-hanging fruit catches your eye,
but the good stuff is higher up--and just out of reach.

I will try to get to the point that these sayings suggest.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
