Don Gasperson ----- poem


the examined man 

the reflective mind 
knows some of the facts 
acts on what seems reasonable 
and explores different possibilities 
and it's all so plausible 

one awkward misstep 
and the ankle gives 
a startle reflex 
a fortunate stumble 
and remains upright 

a tea candle can 
light the entire room 
but mindfulness will 
light the whole world 
"the examined man "
