Stoic Tanka

Stoic Tanka

When the sun went down
Cleanthes carried water 
Through streets and old age
bearing the love of wisdom
proudly upon his shoulders

Sowing Philosophy

Sowing Philosophy

From the golden days of Socrates and Alcibiades
To the dark times of Seneca and Nero
Knowledge passing through generations
Zeno to Cleanthes
Musonius Rufus to Epictetus
Antoninus to Marcus Aurelius
Wisdom cultivation
Planting seeds for the new harvest
Sowing philosophy
For a better tomorrow
