A poet’s advice

I’m away for a couple of weeks on a Vipassana meditation course. I’ll be resuming Dymaxion sleep and journalling here and on youtube when I return, for now I’ll leave you with something I found in the foreword of Critical Path by R. Buckminster Fuller - “A poet’s advice” by E.E Cummings.
