3. Agree, second one is brilliant and true, speaking as one who knows and embraces and is in total awe of having inner wisdom.

   • Thank you, yes that is one part I think us utterly true.

4. With knowledge shared, stars shine brighter in the heavens.
   With truths withheld, Hell grows.

   • I read about the hermit that there are 2 parts
     first you gain wisdom by looking into yourself, and then you go out an share that knowledge.

5. This is so refreshing …. loved it !!!

   The Hermit

   • I recognize myself in that…

9. I really like your take on the hermit, that they isolate themselves because they need the introspection and reflection that can be found, alone. They become a person that seeks something, rather than someone running away from people.

   • Thank you 🙂 I will check your entries later

10. sometimes I find it difficult to listen to myself….

    • Indeed, same for me… but I still believe it’s value.

11. Your first one seems to echo a deeper possibility than just listening to oneself! Perhaps solitude gives the opportunity for spirit wisdom.
