Kudos to the book Hwei Ting found!! Here's an excerpt.

Do not COVET your ideas.

Give away everything you know, and more will come back to you.

YOU will remember from school other students preventing you from seeing their answers by placgin their arm around thie exercise book or exam paper.

It is the same at work, people are secretive with ideas. 'Don't tell them that, they'll take credit for it.'

The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves. Eventually you become stale.

IF you give away everything you have, you are left with nothing. This forces you to look, to be aware, to replenish.

Somehow the more you give away the more comes back to you.

Ideas are open knowledge. Don't claim knowledge.

They're not your ideas anwyay, they're someone else's. They are out there floating by on the ether.

You just have to put yourself in a frame of mind to pick them up.

Bathing off EastCoast

Today, 4 friends sat lying on the beach
Staring at the full round moon
Each swamped in their own thoughts
The floodgates of emotion burst open.

Far and wide we look
Hoping to find an answer
In desperation we find
To our despair, none.

I am sustained by powers not my own,
As on the tide of prayer
Another’s love can sway me toward
Some good that of myself I would not:
Powerful, hidden to me,
As the purpose which drives these great ships
forward
Parting the sea.
