Riddle me This

Riddle me This

A 'Riddle' is a question or statement asked; which is intentionally phrased so as to require  a 'thoughtful' and 'smart' answer or meaning.  

I watched the movie 'Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey' and thoroughly enjoyed the brilliant 'riddle' exchange between Bilbo Baggins and Gollum.  

I wanted to share with you today, the witty riddles uttered by these individuals. 

    Gollum 

Here it is below:

Gollum Riddles:

What has roots as nobody sees,

Is taller than trees,

Up, up it goes,

And yet never grows? 

A: Mountain

Bilbo Baggins Riddles:

Voiceless it cries,

Wingless flutters,

Toothless bites,

Mouthless mutters. 

A: Wind

Gollum Riddles:

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,

Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.

It lies behind stars and under hills,I

And empty holes it fills.

It comes out first and follows after,

Ends life, kills laughter.

A: Dark

Bilbo Baggins Riddles:

Alive without breath,

As cold as death;

Never thirsty, ever drinking,

All in mail never clinking. 

A: Fish

Gollum Riddles:

This thing all things devours;

Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;

Gnaws iron, bites steel;

Grinds hard stones to meal;

Slays king, ruins town,

And beats mountain down. 

A: Time

Well with every game, there needs to be a winner and a loser.  In this exchange of riddles, It was determined that if Bilbo Baggins answers correctly, then Gollum has to show him the way out of the tunnel inside the mountain.  If Bilbo Baggins loses, Gollum gets to eat him.  I will leave it to you to guess who wins this riddle exchange.  

Thank you for visiting,

What You Seek

What You Seek

“What you seek, is seeking you.” - Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi 

This is a brilliant quote from 'Rumi'. 

In another blog, one day in the future, I will write a brief synopsis of this persons life and philosophy. 

Today, I will expand what this quote means, even though, it is kind of self-explanatory.

Simply, in my mind the quote means:

- What you are looking for is up to you.

- You reap what you sow. 

- The world is what you make it. 

- The love you get, is equal to the love you give.  

I have previously translated and explained another Rumi quote of 'Come, come, whoever you are', please click on the link below to read this, if the link does not work, copy and paste it to the address bar.
