An Open Mind Game – 16th May 2026

It’s getting a little draughty in there
Impossible to keep anything out
A jigsaw of pain and desperate care
Always seesawing certainty and doubt

No monopoly in this house of cards
A poker face searching for a good bluff
An insincere compliment to the guards
The door never open or closed enough


Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

The Chain Method

A hot head is a habit
Weaken it day by day
Calm is yours to inhabit
Chained together this way
