I wanted to give you a gift
I’m not offended
That you rejected it
I just
Wanted you to know why
I would show up at your door
Even though I still can’t
See your friends
Without freezing
And wanting to die

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in the opposite direction. — E.F. Schumacher
