how to be smart these days?

 

 

    an old master
    living alone in a forest
    on a tall mountain slope
    entertained a visitor
    twice a year
    shared his wisdom
    his experience of being
    alone in a forest
    on a tall mountain slope

    a thousand years later
    we click-click-click-click
    on email

        from our children
        spouses
        ex-spouses
        friends from
        all over the globe

    we click-click-click-click

        on news
        on newsgroups
        on forums
        on blogs
        on bills
        on ads

    and on a random poem
    from centuries ago
    by a visitor
    who had seen an old master
    living alone
    on the slope of a tall mountain
