lies the hope
Bertoit Brecht
Poetry begins with a lump in the throat
Robert Frost
While all are conditioned to resist sadness
a poet must embrace and be attentive to sadness
R.M. Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
Live life; don't solve it
No clue who offered this as a statement for reflection; but I like it!

I read this last night.
ReplyDeleteI did not know what to say.
I have re-read it this day.
and still don't know what to say.
Something like live life.
But to find a comment
for a good post
requires a solution.
Maybe not Absolution.
All good thoughts for reflection, especially the last one about not trying to solve life, which does, indeed, get in the way of living.
