Knocking Rationality #haiku #tanka

Daily Prompt: Gut Feeling.
When’s the last time you followed your instinct despite not being sure it was the right thing to do? Did it end up being the right call?

Choose and vote the right
when not knowing what that is
instinct qualifies

good enough make decisions
knocking rationality

Inspired by Sara’s haiku – here is mine …

The sea spoke dunder
Lost finds were brought back home
Stoned bed polish logs.

Travel close fate

Daily Prompt: Not for Thee.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received that you wouldn’t give to anyone else? Why don’t you think it would apply to others?

I cannot understand
why a good advice should freeze
and not passes by!

”If intention is
for it to happen” said mum
Requiring fate.

Not religious trust
but a kind of destiny
faith in life’s journey.

I do not believe!
Religions are not for me.
Philosophy is.

My advice is that
you should find yourself in life
and travel close fate.

To respond to the challenge – could be that – my mother’s advice shouldn’t be passed to religious people. But that wouldn’t be nice so I prefer to contribute 🙂
