minimal

gaining

even only a minimal space

of inner freedom

is groundbreaking

though once the ground is broken

freedom can but expand

incessantly

into the core of every cell

finally liberating

the body itself

sustaining

the smell of rain

soft falling late summer rain

no reality is heavy to bear

when being transparent

though being transparent

is more than what

most of us are able to

sustain

dryness

soft winds playing

with dry leaves

as the drought drags on

and life is holding on to

what is

thorough

blessings often come

in odd shapes

and sizes

a thorough humiliation can be

a blessing indeed

when only being

properly received

quite

being quiet

when time is

to keep silence

can be difficult

though no sound is quite as pure

as the sound of

silence

guard

breaking free

of inner chains

is all the more difficult

that the most ferocious guard

is sometimes ourselves

means

when fear is running wild

and no rest to be found

in no matter how many hours

of sleep

other means

are to be taken into account

to find peace

defeat

surrendering to love

has nothing to do

with falling in love

the latter might be difficult

to resist

where the first takes all the courage

of the heart

to defeat

all

when the end of comprehension

is reached

all which is left

is love
