Tear drops fall to form
an ocean in the bottom
of a Dreamer's well.
"Not all who cry are sad". I think I heard that somewhere. But I think this is more true, "Not all who don't cry are not sad" I said that right here. But then there are always smiles, real ones, the ones that come from the face of a grandfather gazing down on a seven month year old bundle of beauty! And tears come and the well swells and dreams are recognized.
River, Tear, Ocean.
Brook, stream, lake and emotion.
Children, life, motion.
The Preacher man seemed sure.
"All who cry are not sad"
ReplyDelete"Not all who don't cry are not sad"
I learned that kind of thinking in math class. I did not think anything beautiful could come from math but a'las...
Nice ruminations, really.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, "Not all who don't cry are not sad."

ReplyDelete"All who cry are not sad" ⇔ ∀x(cry(x) ⇒ ¬sad(x))
ReplyDelete... but that's reading too literally and means nobody who cries is sad...
"Some who cry are not sad" ⇔ ∃x(cry(x) ⇒ ¬sad(x))
"Not all who don't cry are not sad" ⇔ ∃x(¬cry(x) ⇒ ¬sad(x))

Tears tear, tares tarry.
ReplyDeleteShears share the sugar cane stalk,
Grief eats bittersweet.
Oops, I think "Not all who don't cry are not sad" should better be:
ReplyDelete∃x(¬cry(x) ∧ sad(x))
meaning "some who don't cry are sad". Tricky.
