Ars Brevis
There is
one art,
no more,
no less;
to do
all things
with artlessness.
The Paradox of Life
A bit beyond perception’s reach
I sometimes believe I see
that Life is two locked boxes, each
containing the other’s key.
Small Things and Great
He that lets
the small things bind him
leaves the great
undone behind him.
Social Mechanism
When people always
try to take
the very smallest
piece of cake
how can it also
always be that
that’s the one
that’s left for me?
Consolation Grook
Losing one glove
is certainly painful,
but nothing
compared to the pain
of losing one,
throwing away the other,
and finding the first one again.
.
Abreast
He who aims
to keep abreast
is for ever
second best.
Only Hoping
Only hoping isn’t what
gives us strength to cope.
Let us only hope; but not
only only hope.
