Ice Cream Kōans

9/16/2015

In honor of our new magazine, Balance, here's some sweet, frozen wisdom (or madness, not sure which). 

Ice Cream Kōans

One who keeps a cool head
-risks brain freeze.
One who does not
-may melt prematurely.

If you already know
the waffle's crunch
-your hands grew sticky
long ago.

One with glass shoes
-should avoid rocky road.

Sharing is best
-when we all have different flavors.
