Alone

A son asked his father:
”You have never told me all that you really know, have you?”
“If I had, you would no longer be merely a son.”

What a man does not say to himself
is eventually more important than what he does.

In a small open space
is
no room for a guest.

 

The proper son no longer troubles the old man 
with questions. 
 
 

Inside the house of
a man-who-knows
is room enough for the universe —
but not for the local community.

 
 
                 You KNOW alone  —
               you stupid together.
