The proverb, "chase two horses and you will catch neither," suggests
that we have to focus on an important matter at hand and that
we can't do everything at once. This proverb and the others in this
reflective reader, drawn from many cultures, weave a colourful
wisdom from the past that can inform present-day thinking
and action.
Brought up on proverbs in a Dutch familial home, the author
has selected proverbs that evoke humour, philosophical insights
and ethical challenges for living with joy, generosity and justice.
Here is a wisdom that can shape a spirituality for daily life that
promotes human flourishing.
