TRIFLES / by Joe Castorino

Inspired by the writing of St. Francis de Sales

Why are trifles

So important to us?

What’s really all 

The big fuss?


They can often

Infatuate our hearts,

Slowly infecting us,

Like poison darts.


Our desire subtly

Grows and grows,

As we are gradually

Mastered by our foes.


Trifles can turn into treasures,

And treasures into troubles.
