Learn to be Quiet

by Franz Kafka

You need not do anything.

Remain sitting at your table and listen.
You need not even listen, just wait.
You need not even wait,
just learn to be quiet, still and solitary.
And the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked.
It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

I found this poem online, thought it was pretty awesome... what do you think?

PS. I've removed the last line of the poem- I think it sort of spoils the whole thing. If you want to see it, just select the whole post.

Thought of the day

"If you ask me, God gave guys more practical bodies and gave girls more practical brains."
- excerpt from a conversation between me and a close friend.

Quote

"God works in mysterious ways; science just tries to unravel the mysteries."

I honestly came up with this- but I've been told by a couple of people that it has been copied from somewhere. Don't know where- googling didn't come up with anything.

A child's point of view

As a child, I wondered about the meaning of life and death. I imagined that in heaven, peoples' souls lived forever. There was no concept of death. And so, the souls ultimately got rather bored- there was nothing to do that they hadn't already done. So, as an ingenious plan, they invented an MMORPG- and it was called Earth.
