dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Curiosity
“Contentment is the greatest form of wealth.” Acharya Nagarjuna
The Joy Of The Mellow I pass no judgement, (and yet, of course, I do) details are never important, though to be curious is never to be shamed, rather, celebrated, as points of departure from the sameness of repetitions, as for grief, while aware, I'm incuriously embracing the mellow.

“Embracing the mellow” – think I’ll make that my next project.

I’m not sure why, but I feel like I’ve never actually seen the word ‘incuriously’ used before… I like it 🙂

Looooove “incuriously!” And embracing the mellow sounds like perfection to me. I have always said I try to cultivate contentment. This sounds like it might be in the same vein. But perhaps include a mellow drinky of some kind. 😉

I like that you found another way into this prompt, via ‘incurious.’ I wouldn’t be curious to try grief but I’ve tasted enough of it!
