Meditations on the Art of Living

Meditations on the Art of Living

                 (1)
in Science we discover
the Art of the Earth
but the heart of our worth
isn’t in theory and proof
it’s in who we invite
under our roof

                 (2)
Science gives us drugs
Art hugs our senses
both leave us defenseless
but an onslaught of Art
is measurably better
than being attacked by Science

                 (3)
soon we’ll see the measures
we take to slake our thirst
for meaning as demeaning
to the beauty all around us
