Slogans


I need slogans to live by.

It’s a deficiency but it’s OK:

The good slogans compensate.


One of the best for me of late

is from an old woman on the front page,

explaining how she reached 107:

Keep busy and keep breathing.


This has helped, for while it may be true

that the unexamined life is not worth living,

neither is the overly examined. I know.

Moderation in all things.
