the key to wisdom
fresh and clean
we’re born into the world…
our hearts, open windows…
our minds, empty slates
we have an innate thirst
for knowledge…
making a perpetual effort
to quench it…
we muddle our way through adversity…
pick our way past
chaos…
acquiring knowledge…
gaining experience…
developing judgement…
creating a unique law of three
that matures and ripens
over the course of a lifetime…
this law of three…
the key to wisdom
