Feed the Belly Starve the Soul

I would rather my son run free

in the meadow, saddle-less and

satisfied, than be groomed for

the racetrack, that never-ending

acquiring of evaporating laurels

(you know what happens when

the horses stop running).

Talent should be rewarded, but

work with little interest in the

outcome feeds the belly but

starves the soul.
