I passed by the field
of a sluggard,
by the vineyard of a
man lacking sense,
and behold, it was
all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was
covered with nettles,
and its stone wall
was broken down.
Then I saw and
considered it;
I looked and received
instruction.
A little sleep, a
little slumber,
a little folding of
the hands to rest,
and poverty will come
upon you like a robber,
and want like an
armed man.
There are many
lessons buried just beneath the surface of daily life if we have eyes to see
them. When we see and consider, we look and receive instruction merely by
watching what happens and considering how it happened. Keep your eyes
open and your mind mulling. Stay intellectually thirsty my friends.
