HUBRIS PART 2

Respect is bestowed
on those who command it, not
demand it outright.

HUBRIS

Our desire to be
heard trumps our ability
to truly listen.

JUST A LITTLE LONGER

Languidly I lie
beach bed bound, knowing I must
return home tomorrow.

My beach read. Summer water by Sarah Moss.

THE SEA

A beautiful, rich
tapestry shaken out for
my own, pure delight.

FAUX KINDNESS

Childish sycophants
ignore social boundaries,
desperate to please.

A REAL KNOW IT ALL

You know everything,
don't you? No capacity
to listen at all.

COMPLACENCY

Lack of attention
dangerously chips away
at relationships.

ELECTRICITY

Contemporary
life is dependent on us
having t' lecky on.

THE NEVERENDING MAILBOX

Like laundry baskets,
you never reach the bottom
of your work inbox.

RADIX MALORUM EST CUPIDITAS

Very pleased with today's purchase from my local indie bookshop.

Now...can I be disciplined and save it for my upcoming holiday in Rhodes?
