1.

Thinking about what I know

doesn’t accomplish anything.

2.

If I do things, without thinking

they aren’t worth doing.

3.

Reflecting

allows me to make meaning

from the disasters in my life.

Without disaster, there is nothing to reflect on.

4.

Deciding

to do something

is the freedom that we have.

5.

Take away thinking

and our decisions don’t belong to us.

6.

Take away reflection

and our life is meaningless.

7.

A poet

who lives with his mother

and doesn’t work a job

has nothing to write about

because he never left the womb.

8.

The curse of being alive

is that we all have to die.

Suffering

exists

in-between

like a barbecued hamburger

with the ketchup smeared

all over it.

9.

Deciding

how we want to die

is more important

than deciding

how we want to live.

10.

I have always taken my time

That is a luxury

most people don’t think about

not to be in a rush

not to want luxury cars

Only to want the time to think

That is the Key to a meaningful life.
