My power
is in knowing
and acting on
its ken:
too much might
crushes.

Nifty tension in your thoughts. Beautiful balance of words!
Smiles and Light
I do not know, "acting on its ken" and therefore cheated of your insight.
Greyscale--thanks!
Cricket--"ken" means "knowledge, understanding, or cognizance; mental perception: an idea beyond one's ken."
short and wise words...
Very meaningful!
teachers bleed too
Very succinct, but full of tension.
Even empowerment requires some balance - well done post!
Knowledge is always better than might.
'Ken' is often used in Scotland.
Short and well constructed piece.
UL, Paris Parfait--I tried to distill it; seemed like less would be more in this case.
Gautami, Tumblewords--thank you!
Anthony--ah, maybe I've a Scot somewhere on my family tree, that I didn't know about...
knowledge and wisdom, one of the greatest powers of human mind. very well said
I love minimalism. This piece achieved to make a statement in brevity.
I wish you well.

Wonderful... sharp as a dart and crisp as a fall zephyr -- really like this, and your reading of it. ;)
Rambler--yes, I think wisdom is the appropriate application of knowledge (because just knowing isn't enough).
Jeques--thanks. It needed to be short, or I think I would have been overstating what I wanted to say.
Rob--why, thank you! I appreciate your tips on the audio stuff.
