A devoted seeker or an insecure one?

Sometimes a writer’s words are
wiser than the writer’s wisdom.
Fiery thirst for Knowing and healing,
or the lack’s push for overfilling?

“Morning Coffee Quatrains” are the response to
“What’s the main thing around which my mind swirls right now?”.
A prompt from my self to my self, while drinking my morning coffee
(even if sometimes the “publish” button is pushed later).

Writing wise words is not such a difficult thing.
Whether these wise words reflect an analogous wisdom in reality,…
well, that’s a different story.

Why would one write or talk about things they haven’t really understand, experienced, or reached?

Maybe because they are devoted seekers of the pure Knowledge and Wisdom, and referring to these is one of the means for investigating and reaching them.
Maybe because they feel that they are far from that, and they need to be presented as Knowledgeable, overfilling that (belief of) insufficiency.
