Amidst the din
and argument
in the room
the silence
of one person
suddenly creates
a strange calm

and those previously
who have spoken aloud
stop short
step back
all at once
even in doubt

why is it so
such conundrum?

Art in any form

It can be no great art
without the touch of the heart

Life and Literature

Life is larger than literature
it's the source that creates the latter

Canine Wisdom

It doesn't talk---the dog-
but much wisdom it has got!

Dr Peter Lim May 22

Freedom vs Wisdom

Wisdom
without freedom
is tantamount
to mental prison

Dr Peter Lim May 22

You create your own calm

You're already
a calm person
if you've reduced
your ego- in any season

Zen and Taoism

I've enough of myself
silent I'll be:
no more self-talking
beyond joy or misery
