Thoughts Vii

Thoughts are

agitated waves of the mind's archipelago 

that 

would never find rest

till 

the moment they break upon  

the shores of expression!

Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/29/2020 10:26:00 AM Archipelago. I am running for my dictionary now, for I love the SOUND of this word, yet have no idea of the meaning. I am so hoping you did not make it up, Demetrios. Login to Reply

Joe Dimino Date: 7/27/2020 6:11:00 AM Any thought worth thinking, for sure, must have these wakeful qualities. This is beautiful, Demetrios; a perfect example that a short work does not necessarily mean without great substance. Well Said!

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 7/27/2020 8:43:00 AM It is a short work because I didn't have time to make it shorter. In ancient Greece there was a term for it " Laconizein" which was a sigh of wisdom. Ancient Greek philosophers used this form. Being Greek and a student of of philosophy I adapted the style for it is much more difficult to say many things in few words than to say little in a lot of words. Thank you dear Joe. I leave you with two ancient sayings" Know thyself " and " Nothing in excess "

Tom Cunningham Date: 7/27/2020 2:55:00 AM Constantly making their way to the shoreline, even as we sleep they are making their way there, how often we've gone to bed with a problem and woke the next day with the answer.
