Such deft humor and wisdom, Paul. A matter of perspective on so many things, but that ain't one of 'em. Excellent poem, and sparkling humor. Love always, and forever.

Dear Paul: Nice perspective. It reminds of the story of 3 philosophers with a single cup of wine on the table. The first said: "Oh this wine is fragrant like ambrosia." The second said: "The color suggests a wonderful bouquet." The third said: "My esteemed brothers, you are so magnificent. Alas! My senses are dull. So, I must drink the wine to experience your superb senses." (see next message box) Best wishes, Leon.

Hi Leon; the wine story is a good one. Reminds me of the Italian proverb: Fra I due litiganti il terzo gode ...While two dispute, the third enjoys. // paul

Leon Enriquez

Continued /2: Then, the third man took the cup and drank the wine completely. The other two looked with disgust because there was nothing left for them. Leon
