[Rich Note: I had a bit of “revelation” this morning while working with these haiku and wondered if anyone might feel and recognize the same “subtle difference” in the pairs of haiku. Interestingly enough, when I asked my wife, Sandy, which one “felt better”, she felt oppositely (I suppose based on exactly what the particular words in question “meant in her head” and so “evoked in here heart”). In this regard, I would be very much interested in any and all reader feedback as to which of each matched set of haiku (style wisdom sayings) “feels” better to them; and, if so inclined (and this is purely optional), to indicate why they “think they feel” (which might be an oxymoron)that way?]

[Rich Note: Additionally, this is another one of those “looking for the perfect third line deals (“The Aware Presence I Am” would seem to be looking for “Perfect Accompaniments” and/or variations on Its Central Theme of Endless Becoming).” So I would, once again, welcome personal contributions or suggestions from anyone who wishes to come up with your own "perfect concluding line."]

[Biblically speaking, “…I AM the door of the sheep (John 10:7)"; "…I AM the light of the world: he that followeth ME shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life (John 8:12)"; "I AM one that bears witness of myself, and the Father that sent ME beareth witness of ME (John 8:18)"; “I AM the vine , ye are the branches: He that abideth in ME, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without ME ye can do nothing (John 15)"; "I AM the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep (John 10:11)"; "I AM the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys (Song 2:1)"; "…I AM the bread of life: he that cometh to ME shall never hunger; and he that believeth on ME shall never thirst (John 6:35)"; "I AM the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star" (Rev 22:16): "I AM the way , the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME (John 14:6)".]
