there are three unlimited indications: space, time and awareness which make our life meaningful to the degree of our preparedness for its challenges.


Poem Artwork

I've heard people say, a frog in a well

Cannot be talked with about the heavens --

It is confined to the limits of its hole

Thru which it looks up at a piece of the sky.

This is what is called Spatial Delimitation.

 

The same thing is with an insect

Of the summertime which

Cannot be talked with about ice --

It knows nothing beyond its own season

To be an instance of Temporary Restriction.

 

A scholar with his narrow background

And limited views cannot be talked with

About universal stuff -- he is bound

By the teachings which he has received;

Hence his proper style is Narrow-Mindedness.

We all have our limits, as is well delineated here. It's breaking the limits that we need to follow up on. John

The mind is capable of storing many things, to be recalled later and it may be called poetry when put to print.

There certainly is a great lesson in this piece. It seems like in order to make a living these days, one has to be narrowly specialized. The more narrowly specialized, the more valuable one's services. But you're right about being tunnel minded and narrow-minded as a result.

I guess that's why I've always meddled in a lot of things and tried not to be trapped in a specific discipline understood by only me and a very few others.
