Stay with me awhile and sitting by Siddartha's river we'll listen to the water whisper answers we need not seek |

Looking up "Siddartha's river", sounds like my kind of place.Silence, a drink, and a peaceful acceptance. Jason |

As I recall, Siddartha spent his life searching for truth and understanding. Perhaps it is as simple as listening to a river with a friend. Enjoyed this! |

Thanks for reading Karilea Thanks Dixie Siddartha is the protganist of Herman Hesse's novel by the same name. His work has touched me deeply and I suggest all his work especially Narcissus and Goldmun, Siddartha, Demian and Steppenwolf. That he did Martie as have many of us, few take the time to listen in silence Glad to have you aboard Maree Thank you Linda sort of a counter balance to my earlier post |

Something about knowing the answers "we need not seek" That is too true. Good thinking you~ |

Oh Raffaele this is a beautiful invitation ... may our hair grow while we dive deep into silence and let treasures unfold .... I also love all of Hesse's works, especially Siddharta and Narcissus and Goldmund. Abbracci. Margherita |

yes Sue canadian beer not that p*** water you yanks call beer grin Grazie Margherita, I think Demian is underrated and being a short story doesn't get the attention it deserves that said I've always loved it for the parallels with my own life though Narcissus and Goldmun is sheer poetry Thanks Brad as does yours! Dream Mine too that's why I'm inviting people to catch anything I may miss ..grin |

You just keep getting better and better with your deep simplicity...less is obviously more from your pen. I love the last two lines and am adding this to the rest of your poems already saved in my library. Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |
