This is the first line of a poem by Emily Dickinson. She didn't jet around
the world to hunt inspirations. To her, the human soul is infinitely free only
because its vehicle can be so frugal.
Buddha might have an even cheaper one. Before enlightenment, however, a book is
pretty good.
Enjoy.
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll.
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul.
Meanwhile, gas cost $5.783/gal in California as of 9/30/2023 :-)
