    Absolutely ~~ we get clogged down by too much “stuff” our own, everyone else’s and material captures. Well done; a well focused piece! Thank you for sharing!

    you do produce these mighty, trenchant Zen-like pieces….very powerful in their sparsity.

    Few words say so much. We all have to do inventory now and then. It is so easy to let clutter into our mind and life. It squeezes out the more important things that bring us the most satisfaction. Thank you for your reminder.

    But… so much focus is missing in the blur of fast. Thought-provoking.

    how true is this! man, if we all made a list, i bet there would be some huge surprises as to what didn’t make it. of course only if we were truly honest.

    Hmmm, yes…it doesn’t take so many words to unravel the source of our troubles. Nice meditation, the simplicity of the poem mirrors the thought you’ve expressed…thanks for the reminder.
