μακάριος – 25th February 2026

~ shaun tenzenmen

Shared with dVerse Quadrille #242 – hunger
μακάριος (makarios) is the Greek word for blessed.

I would fill my hollow leg
with all the libraries’ best
To wave the wolves away
at my open doors

My fire burns through these leaves
in cultivation of curiosity

Grafting facts, pruning the fat (…)

Blessed are they which do hunger
until elegant sufficiency.

Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

The Smoke And Dust Of Myth

Castles of sand are soon erased
The peasant buried next to the king
To our emotions we become enslaved
When in reality – it’s all just nothing

    1. ‘Elegant sufficiency’ was a phrase I learned from the Aussie family I married into way back when. Something the parents had passed on to my ex along the way. They used it to describe that were full, or at least, had had enough to eat.
