Musings of One Thousand and One Nights of Solitude

Bardas Benetbunk has lived in the two socio - political systems that polarized much of the world for the better part of the recently defunct century. In this collection of maxims aphorisms and just plain thoughts and unanswered questions - for nobody has all the answers - with a sprinkling of poetry (with rhyme and rhythm for a change) he has attempted to lend coherence - as only in writing do the inchoate broodings of the meditative soul achieve coherence - to the thoughts that visited his mind and the reflections they occasioned over a great number of years. Readers will find much that strikes a responsive chord and much with which their spirit does not share a common ground; they will linger over some and remain unmoved by others; and become aware perhaps that thoughts should not just be thought but thought about. ... to sit alone Musing - a deadly happiness! Euripides - Hyppolytus
