There is not much to say
about today’s picture
besides the silence
I feel from it
it’s nature
at its best

Each day is a little different
the sun shines a little higher
or you sit a little lower
either way
you read the news
something that stays the same

You looked at me
and I just at you
leaving
or arriving
what’s in a moment

Some people sit so high
in their crane lifting the world
solving problems
and they still don’t understand
from high up there
that it is the wind
that directs their point
of view

351 Pangs of conscience after social gatherings. -Why do we have pangs of conscience after ordinary social gatherings? Because we have taken important things lightly, because in speaking of other people we have not spoken with complete truthfulness, or because we have kept silent where we ought to have said something, because we did not take an occasion to spring to our feet and run away, in short, because we have behaved in society as if we belonged to it.

I see what you do
but do you inhale
or vent
your thoughts

We don’t see you

For some a door
is just a door

they all hide secrets
a world you don’t know
and to be honest
you never will know
what is behind most of the doors
you meet
so make most of the ones
you do open

346 Unintentionally impolite. -When someone unintentionally treats another person impolitely, not greeting him, for instance, because he does not recognize him, this rankles inside him even though he cannot reproach himself for his own intentions; the bad opinion that he has engendered in the other 3o person vexes him, or he fears the consequences of ill feeling, or it causes him pain to have injured the other person-hence vanity, fear, or pity can be stirred, perhaps all of them together.

Should you believe your eyes
when you know they are wrong
that’s a point
more common than you know

I like my view black and white
just because the world is so grey
where the right answers disappear

I see abstract trees
in the city I walk
they don’t represent
but an idea
is nature not always a concept
a want
even while walking in it
do we not want
something of it
even if it is just
peace and quiet
can we really be in nature
even though we are
nature

I don’t know what you expect
from number one
but is this it
