Accepting Death in a Cheerful Spirit
Sometimes slow
is the fastest way to go.
Forgetting
is often how we remember.
Marcus Aurelius was Emperor.
He made time for philosophy.

So much in this.
Almost like a koan.
This is good !
I love the tension your pairings create, slow/fast, forgetting/remembering, ruling/pondering. Keeps me on my toes.
Forgetting is remembering. wonderful lines
the turtle in the adage, st. anthony. and the ancient.
but the way you said it was priceless.
I enjoyed this poem.
Thank you all for your kind comments and for reading my poems this month
