Advice

Instruction does much,
but encouragement everything.

Back to school week

School is one thing, education is another.
The two don't always overlap.
Whether you are in school or not,
it is always your job to get yourself an education.

Poem: Happiness

A state you must dare not enter
   with hopes of staying,
quicksand in the marshes, and all

the roads leading to a castle
   that doesn't exist.
But there it is, as promised,

with its perfect bridge above
   the crocodiles,
and its doors forever open.
