"In" words

and could take in the world

or not ?

Some set
and do nothing.
Others seem to work hard
at something. Both accomplish the
same thing.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.
