The last poet

The wizard of the desert met a young one,

- "Who are you, old man?" asked the young one,
- "I am the poet, a student of wisdom written in words"
- "What is a poet? We don't have such among today's people.."
- "Let me read for you from my ancient book",  said the old man opening Rumi, 
- "I do not understand these words, old man", said the young one after the while.
- "Can you imagine one day your children will not know of flowers or music?" asked the wizard?
- "That would be terrible!", answered the young one.
- "This is what I feel today, my child.."

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein

"We are but habits and memories we chose to carry along." ~ Uki D. Lucas
