For today I want to live the Unexamined Life

I know that my stoic friend will

Perhaps consider this sacrilege

And the world itself increasingly

Values knowledge and its sibling

Logic, as life’s underlying lynchpin

But logic hasn’t prevented a single

War, and knowledge only leads to

More questions than can ever be 

Answered, yet not dousing the 

Feverish desire for a Theory of Everything 

So today I sit in my lovely garden 

Slowly sipping tea and watching 

Mynahs peck holes in the grass 

Listening to a satisfied bee’s buzz

Sensing life’s worth is beyond examining.
