  1. Uneasy Wisdom

    Unlike that Athenian gadfly
    I know, and I know that I know
    And I also know
    Joys of various hues
    Have as much a claim on me
    As any good ol’ sorrows
    And I know that my lot
    As that of all here
    Is to be sitting on this seesaw
    Until Newton’s First Law kicks in
    And the seesaw is no longer seen.

  3. A quotation from Horace

    Smiles are contagious; so are tears; to see
    Another sobbing, brings a sob from me.
    No, no, good Peleus; set the example, pray,
    And weep yourself; then weep perhaps I may.
     
    [Ut ridentibus adrident, ita flentibus adflent
    humani voltus. Si vis me flere, dolendum est
    primum ipsi tibi: tum tua me infortunia laedent,
    Telephe vel Peleu.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 101ff (2.3.101-103) (19 BC) [tr. Conington (1874)]

  6. Something you don’t anticipate after the deaths of your sibling, mother and father - when traveling with your wife and son - is that you no longer have any emergency contacts to provide (requested by the airlines). You’re an orphan by attrition. #grief #loss #family #travel #sorrow
