the shortest distance . a person can travel is . rarely a straight line
with a heavy chain . and padlock, the parking lot . can be made secure
only small ripples . will reveal; the reflection . cannot be the truth
too many warnings . become noise that gets tuned out . instead of heeded
in two maple trees . their changing autumn colors . show disagreement
leaving the comfort . of yesterday’s memories . isn’t optional
to find happiness . one must make the decision . to become happy
when the lake is calm . there is no expectation . that the boats will sail
a simple system . is the backbone that supports . complex ideas
in the morning fog . common experiences . don’t seem so common
