Zen and the Art of Peanut Butter

Hihihi (:

Since most of us are pretty stressed out over the looming Promos, I decided that we see more humour in our current situation and just laugh off our stress :D (OK, yes, this is pretty much a rip-off from today's Compass Programme; but at least it shows that I was paying attention!)

This is probably one of my favourite poems of all times, I hope you all like it too!

Zen and the Art of Peanut Butter
First, seek the most direct path
leading to the pantry.
Focus on the jar itself.
Reveal the contents
with a reverse spiral motion.
Delicately insert the knife.
Delicately withdraw the knife.
As if applying salve
to the infinite being himself,
spread the contents
on the leavened slice.
Attentively lick the remainder
from the blade,
and throw the sandwich away.

By W.G. McDonald

Love love love love this poem, on the peripheral, it seems really simple and has nothing much to it, I mean, it appears to be a poem that talks about how we should take things slow (unlike Singaporeans), but rather, the enjoyment of doing sth that is totally mundane as an art (:

Well, gotta go back to mugging!

God Bless (:
