Kindness
- May. 2nd, 2006 at 7:40 PM
You must lose things,
Feel the future dissolve in a moment
Like salt in weakened broth.
What you held in your hand,
What you counted and carefully saved.
All this must go before you know
How desolate the landscape can be
Between the regions of kindness
-- Naomi Shehab Nye, Kindness

Are we close to discovering that the quote isn't really about anything at all?
But I like everything most when you insert lethargy.
