ridiculous

is not considered

being considered

might be considered

ridiculous

and beyond all sort of

consideration

is wisdom to be found

moorhen

the sound of

a moorhen

in the morning

the sound of a woodpecker

at noon

the sound of an owl

in the night

can be

what it takes

to let

the wonders or creation

shine

in their proper grace

ashamed

what a relief

no longer to believe

what is said

to be true

when being

belittled

what a joy to discover

that

what was being belittled

is

indeed

another expression of

an elegant talent for

care

being able

to care

is indeed

nothing to be

ashamed of

world without end

when love

is no longer

something

ought

to be

deserved

it might open our hearts

to

the unending abundance

of mercy

waiting since

the beginning of time

to run through our beings

in order to enter

the world

cast

believing that

giving into desire

is opening the door

to the heart

is a temptation

as old

as the world

yet

the door to the heart

cannot be opened

without desire

which might be why

repressing desire

is not the answer

either

acknowledging it

for what it is

without giving in

nor

repressing

might cast the foundation

on which love

can build

without casting

shadows of guilt

numb

when what we need

is perpetually being

overruled

by someone else’s

lack of awareness

lack of wisdom

lack of love

we might end up believing

we do not need it

at all

growing numb

to life

itself

responsible

no longer to feel

responsible for another person’s

mood

is

another step

towards

humility

hierarchy

when

what used to topple

the inner balance

is suddenly received

as an insignificant incident

annoying no doubt

yet not overruling

it might be

an expression

the priority

of the inner hierarchy

is being adjusted

question

perhaps

the gates to love

are opened

by obedience

rather than by

desire

the role of desire being

the wish

to obey

so desire is not to be

suppressed

rather acknowledged

and liberated

as the natural flow of desire

will always be

towards

obedience

the question being

what we obey
