Conversations meander like the many small rivers and brooks we pass. All of the sudden I feel that you have left, as your thoughts have carried you through many doors to other worlds. You sit there in a corner by yourself, neither sleeping nor awake, I sense that your awareness is very focused elsewhere, but as the train brake for yet another stop, we all come together. Somehow we are yet again strangers in each other’s eyes.
floating lazily –
rivers all connect somewhere
like conversations

Björn Rudbergs writings 
I wish to say: “wonderful haibun.” Then I see the lovely photo and wish to say: “great haiga.” However I do not know the term for haiku, prose and artwork all together. Is there one? Love the cohesiveness of this.
I’m writing a haibun per day on an imaginative trip on the transibirian railway. Also in parallel I’m reading Paulo Coelho’s Aleph.. Thank you so much for reading and commenting
Wonderful idea!
Captivating and thought provoking. Love ❤
Thank you Jennifer… I’m into a daily haibun … Common thread is an imagined trip with the Transiberian Railway..
I’ll admit that I had to google that. I have such a hard time sticking to anything with structure. I admire your writing and how you ‘challenge yourself’. Best of luck with the rest of your journey!
Fantastic Bjorn, so beautifully lyrical. I love the way you make the language sing.
Thank you.. that’s a high praise…
Like seven degrees of separation.
Indeed.. a train trip can be revealing…
Togetherness of strangers…or strange togetherness…with beauty in it…my mind wanders as the conversations continue…
Love the thought of strange togetherness
Wonderful. Wish I had more words to describe the impact but brain not working.
Oh.. I hope its getting back soon,,,,
JUST…so good…so so good, so good in allegory, style, form.
Thank you..
Sincerely. Am blown away!
Beautiful haibun … nice style … very well done Bjorn.
Thank you … wonder if I can carry this through
Your haibun is moving and the haiku is just delectable. Wonderful piece.
love the thought of rivers all connecting. Great post!
I love how deep this is
Relationships from a train journey, meeting as strangers and leaving as one! Nicely Bjorn!

I absolutely love this, Bjorn! It’s perfect.
Wonderful haibun, Bjorn! Can’t wait to see more along the trip!
Love the feeling of oneness….
Great idea writing a haibun. I’m enjoying this train ride!
it is interesting how we intersect…for a brief bit even strangers become friends and then reaching our stop we get off and dont look back…..
I hear those voices murmuring in the seat just ahead!
On a Street in Perm
words that say so much. Excellent, Bjorn
