The Oracle of Delphi pronounced Socrates the wisest of Greeks; and Socrates took this as approval of his agnosticism which was the starting point of his philosophy: ‘One thing only I know’, he said, ‘and that is that I know nothing’. Philosophy begins when one begins to doubt — when one begins to question the accepted wisdom of tradition. Particularly the one’s cherished beliefs, one’s dogmas and one’s axioms.
Delphian inscription:
To be curious about that which is not my business, while I’m still in ignorance of my own self, would be ridiculous. And therefore I say farewell to all of this, but about myself.

Today is sacred,
the day Iran attacked the
beginning of our end.
Fend the ancient grapes,
and slurp for fun until numb,
time is of our past.
Do we even know,
when to stop and say I love you
or do we not care?

worms from a fallen apple
removed from Adam.

Mountains of water —
Unreached limp bodies come
crashing toward shore.

Our democracy,
this vague and ice frozen –
will not breathe again.

A silhouette,
chases me from my dreams to
flowers on the grave.

Her independence –
March for life, for freedom
To be brave alone.

Gold, diamond, silver
rings around the rosy –
Wrinkled anniversary.

A young fawn walks by
the old snow covered fox den.
Crack! Maple limbs fall.

Far away from home,
the robin flies alone, low
with a broken wing.

A curious pause
between two apt Delphians
who don’t know themselves.
