16 Oct: "The Paradox of Life" by Piet Hein

A bit beyond perception’s reach
I sometimes believe I see
that life is two locked boxes
each containing the other’s key.

  1. I love this little paradox. I'd say this is a great metaphor for the purpose of life. Many people think they know, but there is so much beyond perception's reach, and then the answers are locked in boxes that cannot be opened.

  2. Maybe the answer lies not in the keys themselves, but figuring out how to dissolve the boxes all together.
