The saying above your poem is only true if someone is willing to answer. I believe too that the questions asked reveal the nature of the person who asks the question. Questioning one’s self is a valuable character trait. A tiny poem filled with wisdom. Blessings Rick.

Sometimes it hard to acknowledge the answer even when we know it's true. I usually ask myself as a way to look deeper into the things I think I believe. I agree with your comment, Rick, and appreciate your visits and comments, my friend. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

So true, so well said and so meaningful is this senryu so well written and delivered. I used to always be one that questions everything, i try holding them back because some questions may be frowned by others while they are genuine and sincere. Your sincerity in expressing your thoughts stand out and depicts courage and genuineness. Hope Christmas went well for you and sara sending you both light always

I ask myself more questions than I ask others, Ink. I seem to be always looking for a deeper meaning in things. Everyone sees the obvious, but many times we miss the beauty of something as we hurry through life. Sara and I had a nice Christmas, we're finishing Christmas on Saturday with Her side of our family. Covid through the scheduled plans off a week, but their doing fine now, so Saturday it is. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

From as far back I can remember I've questioned everything, Even now I still do, but rather than ask someone I Google it, the modern way I suppose. I'm always looking for answers. Hope your Christmas day celebrations went well Bill.

They did, Tom, I hope yours when well also, my friend. Thanks for the comment. When I question something, it is not negative, it is my way of saying to God are the universe, I want to understand better; I want to know more. Have a great week! Bill
