More, Not More (apologies to Bruce Cockburn)
There must be more...
More of the poetic, the prophetic, the noetic, the didactic.
I am reminded of Sam Walter Foss' little poem, "Bobolink Philosophy" [Back Country Poems. Boston: Lee and Shepard Publishers. 1894. Page 23.] whose first line grabs one's attention:
"I know a deep philosopher who's far too wise to think . . ."
LOL!
