Homer
Blind Singer of Troy
“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”
Sing to me first of the man who stayed. No one does. The Muse keeps no song for the one who counted his silver and slept soundly. Odysseus had a bed carved from a living olive and a wife worth all of Troy, and still he took to the wine-dark sea. Your savings are a shield, and a shield is for going forward behind, not for hiding under.
But hear this too: he came home. Plan the homecoming before the war.
