indeed...
 

i second that!

 

finding that out everyday lately..
 

I love this :)

 

yes yes yes.
 

yup :]
 

i agree with you

 

Oh I know another one:

Ancient pond.
A frog jumps in.
Plop!

 

Well, Then I will be alone until I meet you.
 

(sigh)
 

totally mature totally true
 

I'm glad to see someone else thinks the same way....your awesome. 

 

..On the subject of fellowship.......I love this Albert Camus quote - 'I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints. Heroism and sanctity don't really appeal to me, I imagine. What interests me is being a man.'..
 

couldn't be any truer or on point with what's going on in my life right now!!!!!
 

indeed!
 

Sounds like Rumi.
 

snip snip losers.......
;3

t.londons!
 

definitely.

 

I concur!
 

It's Buddhist.

It does sound like Rumi, but it isn't. I don't remember who it is.

 

maybe you got it from your mother, who in turn got it from Siddharta Gautama a.k.a the Buddha!
 

..All these haiku's are about cats,....brilliant................
You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.

You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail! Behold,
"Elevator butt."

I need a new toy.
tail of black dog keeps good time.
pounce! good dog! good dog!

The rule for today
Touch my tail, I shred your hand
New rule tomorrow

In deep sleep hear sound
cat vomit hairball somewhere
will find in morning

Grace personified,
I leap into the window.
I meant to do that.

Shoe laces
Must attack at once
Didn't know that was you.

Blur of motion, then --
silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?

The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds --
Your foot just squashed one

You're always typing.
Well, let's see you ignore my
sitting on your hands.

My small cardboard box.
You cannot see me if I
can just hide my head.

Terrible battle.
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What's a 'term paper'?

Kitty likes plastic
Confuses for litter box
Don't leave tarp around

Big tree, flashing lights
Climb, attack, chew, bite..
Locked in bathroom at night now

Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner

Want to trim my claws?
Don't even think about it!
My yelps will wake dead.

I want to be close
to you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?

Wanna go outside.
Oh NO! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!

Oh no! Big One
has been trapped by newspaper!
Cat to the rescue!

Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in bed, then screams!
My claws aren't that sharp ...

Cats meow out of angst
"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much!"

Litter box not here
You must have moved it again
Your shoe will do.

The Big Ones snore now
Every room is dark and cold
Time for "Cup Hockey"

We're almost equals
I purr to show I love you
Want to smell my butt?

Bath.. oh no
No you don't!! No way!!
That will need stitches

Evil yarn near masters feet
Danger I must save her
Attack Attack Attack

Brand new $900.00 couch
Ahh that fabric beneath my claws...
Why are we going to the vet?
..
 

It can be found on - with more of those "foolish" things:
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/dhp/dhp.05.than.html


 

It's from the Balavagga
 

Gissa om at detta stämmer så otroligt bra. Trivs bäst i selskap med fyra tassar!

 

Needed this. You're the best Li <3
 

Thats a bit contradictory Lykki, if you do find someone who is your better, then by the same logic they shouldnt be with you because you (being less than their equal or better) are by default, their fool.

We are all fools pretending we are not.




 

..haiku?? thats not a haiku. i dont see a 5-7-5 here... unless its really called "haiku for fools"then you're on track. nvrtheless, i agree with your found passage.....
alone time IS quality time ..
 

Ok, most haikus made known to us, are translated from other languages. Its not a traditional western form of writing. Thats all!

I dont wanne know
who is that responsible
to know all the things.

 

and btw...that one isnt about finding ur better but ur equal. Thats the main message it has. U dont have to be a fool and the other one doesnt either then...thats why it is funny and a bit mysterious...

 

I do a proposal. How does that sound:

........Don’t meet your equal?
Better continue your course.
Fellowship with fools.........
