Pooh

I never read Winnie the Pooh, nor the many sequels and offshoots that it spawned. Recently I found "The Te of Piglet" (by the author of "The Tao of Pooh). It is a wonderful treatise on human behavior and our contemporary world. I am most impressed by the Eeyores, and how we are surrounded by their breed. The book is full of wonderful quotes, such as:
"Some people never learn anything because they understand everything too quickly." - a quote from Alexander Pope, of another era.
Or, "In the world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants and the other is getting it." - Oscar Wilde, of yet another era.
Wisdom drips from the clouds of any era, we just need to open our eyes and ears to it. Put down the umbrella and dance in the rain.
