A SeerA Poem by Jouni SakariWhat is the problem with a prophet , or a seer ?A SEER He was fast in growing seeds rapidly in his mind to sieve whether they turned out unproductive, or fruitful. I don't know if he was impatient ( a little perhaps ) with others because they were just choosing some seeds by their feel, and he had already found out what worked, and what did not. so did he mention that already ? There was absolutely no confusion in his garden but, was it Confucius ? ( we don't know ) and he could do all the weighing and zooming anew in a second anyway, if there was or wasn't. Just like that. But the end result of all this was, many times, that there always emerged a subtle uncertainty between two equally good ( or equally bad ) choices. He couldn't foresee on which seed the first water drop would fall. © 2016 Jouni SakariAuthor's Note
