The Inner Outer Limits
As one passes through life
One should move with 180 degree vision
At a rate that does not exceed
The speed of enlightened sight
Remember this
Before you sleep tonight:
If you move too fast
The fun won’t last as long
And that would be wrong
If you move too slow
You might never know the joy
And wonder
Of lifting both feet off the ground
And running the sprint discipline
Of capturing and understanding
The fireflies of God’s wisdom
John Christopher
1990
When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
