3387. WISE AND GENTLE WISDOM FOR LIVING A KIND AND GENEROUS LIFE

WISE AND GENTLE WISDOM 
FOR LIVING A KIND AND
GENEROUS LIFE
(deeply spiritual life)
The man is reading Henry Nouwen in a very
considered manner  -  he is blessing his bread
and coffee, holding his book in a caress and
(I sense) feeling forth for a meaningful life  -  
while, just next to him, some retired professor
in a straight-man's smock is railing about
Venezuela's nationalized oilfields. 
Pipelines and revolutions, to the
heart or through the soul. 
The first man, I notice 
now, is leaving with his
butter-pad knife.
