Eloquence is saying what you mean when you don't care too much.
When in doubt, mumble; when in trouble, delegate; when in charge, ponder.
[James H. Boren]

OLE ANSWERED the phone and came back to the living room crying."Well, Ole! What in the world is the matter?" asked the sympathetic Lena. "I just had bad news, Lena," said Ole, "My father just died." Just then the rang again, Ole went to answer it and came back crying again. "Well, now, Ole, what is the matter?" asked Lena. "That was my brother," said Ole. "His father just died too!" There is a whole joke-book in this archive section. No one should drive a hard bargain with a fiery Zen artist. [Cf. Ludwig Van Beethoven] There is Zen artistry of reading and of writing in various forms. Try to find those you like the most.
Think of an impressionistic painter. Something valuable may cost, both to produce it and
get it after that.
