Persian vase handle 600 B.C., Louvre Museum, Paris

91.

 

The sign of wisdom is intelligence.

The sign of intelligence is thinking

and the sign of thinking

is silence.

 

 

92.

 

I stand

like a snowman

at the end of winter.

I glow like the flame

of a candle.

I last

like a rainbow.

 

 

93.

 

The insights are new.

They refresh history.

The hearts are alive.

They grow in cages.

The thoughts are bright

like candles

glowing in the dark.

 

 

94.

 

Can't you see?

We can't get rid of pain.

It is our conjoined twin.

Break your chains

and learn to enjoy.

 

 

95.

 

I search today

the putrefied notebooks of memories.

I find pieces of yesterday

and put them together

to solve the puzzle of tomorrow.
