Not every adversary is an enemy. Not every loss is a defeat. Not every mystery is a puzzle. Not every question is a challenge. Not every conflict is a battle. Not every fear is a disaster. Not every difficulty is a problem.
I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

The Jobless Rate of Education
Bureaucrats have bolted
A boot on my brain.
Wheels don’t spin;
They crumple under
Axle grease. The crunch
Collapses in triplicate
As one department
Merges back into
Another from which
Originally it had sprung.
Can layoffs be far
Behind? Numbers
More than quality
Determine everybody’s
Pocketbook, because
They can be computed
As if cold, hard facts
Pockmarked teenage faces,
Took the cash and left
Them in the unemployment
Lines, massively in debt
And doubt about what payoff
Or kissoff accompanied
That final diploma.
