Note:   I was inspired to write these poems after getting a series of questions from a young seeker.   I usually do not answer others but tell them this is personal and to look and reflect and come to their own insights.  No one can know about yourself better than you.  I thought later no wonder there are so few enlightened and so many charlatans and self help gurus in our world when so many look outside themselves for answers.  

The poems were written in the haiku style of poetry last week and published for the first time on my blog today, the 3rd of August, 2020.
