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 colorful 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 humor, 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.
