Love the way you always get to the nub of each haiku, brilliant.
Nothing like the truth of old lore.
Awesome haiku Björn you have ccomposed a haiku in which the essence of the story is caught. Thank you for sharing.
Reblogged this on illustrated poetry and commented:
This poet has three attributes that captured my heart: great haiku paired with (and inspired by) beautiful art and a scientist by training. Go us scientists writing poetry!!
Lovely, Bjorn, and the painting is beautiful. 🙂 —Susan
i like the thought that strength is given to those willing to be helpful,
there is def a spirituality there….
Yes, softly and nicely said.
Yes, wanting to obtain something doesn’t always mean being ready to have it… Profound!
Luv the equation that giving strengthens in return, nice image too
Much love…
this is beautiful…there is healing in compassion.
