Shamelessly copied from T. of Magpies (see side bar)

Why is the word yes so brief?
It should be
the longest,
the hardest,
so that you could not decide in an instant to say it,
so that upon reflection you could stop
in the middle of saying it

by Vera Pavlova
and translated from the Russian by Steven Seymour



I think the same too... it is all too easy to say "yes" without fully understanding what you commit to and what responsibilities you are offering to shoulder and what you have chosen to put your stamp on.
