Empires of the Mind – by Gary Smolker
Oct 18
Posted by Gary S. Smolker
SAYING IT ALL
Life Seen Through A Glass of Wine
The real empires of the world are the empires of the mind.
When you are a poet, you are an architect of the mind.
Everything about you is very romantic – what you say creates a very romantic picture.
You can’t help communicating a very romantic picture when expressing yourself.
“Life seen through a glass of wine while unwinding after a day of working hard” — says it all.
Nice, Comfy, Warm
“Thanks again for your kindness” — says it all.
Time
“There are so many books I would like to read or reread. When will I find the time? I don’t even have time to write my own.” — says it all.
He Stole My Slippers
“Carlos stole my slippers. He says they are fabulous.” — is the nicest compliment I’ve ever received.
