Moment of Truth
After you jump
But before you fall
You fly
And a million yous are born
And a million yous die
And in that bated breath of time and sky
You decide
Which of you survive
Poetry as Definition
The origin of the word “Poetry” comes from the greek word Poiesis or “to make”. Even this definition is poetic as it’s not so much the act, but the verb.
“Martin Heidegger refers to it as a ‘bringing-forth’, using this term in its widest sense. He explained poiesis as the blooming of the blossom, the coming-out of a butterfly from a cocoon, the plummeting of a waterfall when the snow begins to melt. The last two analogies underline Heidegger’s example of a threshold occasion: a moment of ecstasis when something moves away from its standing as one thing to become another.”
I kind of like the descriptions here that still require citation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poiesis
Definitions of Social Enterprise
“Maybe the best way to put it is that an enlightened capitalist society should aim to internalize all of its externalities. And, that, that is the true definition of social enterprise.”
