Responding to Fools

Somewhere beyond
all grand illusions
nestled in the finest
dreams,

or between the rhythms
of history and hope,
lie the essential
questions…

what requires more
intelligence, strength,
patience, and true wisdom…
than overcoming oneself,
and knowing exactly when
to act with inaction?!

I should take a page from this book! In fact I could probably write a book about this page. Great wisdom, sir poet.

Bruce,

I am living this poem right now in one part of my life. Good job - and good lesson shared.

Thank you for sharing the beauty in your world.

Secondhanddreampoet,

I always respond to fools. They might give me money.
