IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND
THE REAL THING

I had a friend
who had a friend
who had a stone for a friend,
for a teacher:
a master
of silence.

 

THE TRUEST DISSIDENCE IS GENEROSITY

Flies are the sun's kisses.
If we kiss flies
that celebrate the beggar's eyes
we'll find compassion on his lips.
Beggars are the only human
heroes - the only wise
- unhumbled by their own eclipse.
