A Few More Important Questions

  • Is it preferable to fall in love by accident or to do so by working at it?
  • When is the name you have given a kind of flower more important than the scientific name?
  • If whims push new clouds across the sky and sadness pulls at the waters, what lifts the moon and sun from the standpoint of a poet?
  • Is a pine tree growing out from the cracks of a limestone cliff superior to the cottonwood clamped to the soft loam beside a constant stream?
  • Do you see the difference between laborers and doctors in degrees?
  • Do you think money makes a person better-looking?
  • Do you pick-up pennies when you chance upon them on a sidewalk?  If not, at what age did you stop doing so?
  • Has anyone ever gifted you a live animal?  If so, how much did the animal weigh?
  • Do you consider the ability to perceive when someone is deceiving you a gift?
  • Is deception the same as an outright lie, or are they separated by degrees?
  • Could you fall in love with someone who always fell asleep before you did?
  • Would you feed a starving raven?
  • Do you stand at a window so you can watch the first snow?
