I like this 🙂
Thank you.
Wonderful, Bjorn.
The 2nd one is brilliant!
Thank you 🙂
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.
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.
This is so refreshing …. loved it !!!
Thank you 🙂
Both haiku have insight. Searching for spiritual light.
It’s amazing what you can find inside yourself sometimes..
Very true.
A double first! Both superbly done.
Thank you 😉
I have a problem with listening to myself, because often I lead myself astray!
The Hermit
I recognize myself in that…
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
sometimes I find it difficult to listen to myself….
Indeed, same for me… but I still believe it’s value.
Your first one seems to echo a deeper possibility than just listening to oneself! Perhaps solitude gives the opportunity for spirit wisdom.
Hermit
I think that’s the general hermit belief
beautiful, brudberg!
Thank you Adrana
