stepping out of judgment
into observation
is freedom
letting behind heavy chains
of condemnation
opening towards a kind of love
which has no end
perilous
holding on to dreams
with no roots in reality
can already be
a perilous affair
holding on to dreams
which are not our own
is even more hazardous
no matter how seducing
and beautiful
they seem
belief
the root of every dishonesty
is a part of the truth
we believe ourselves unable
to face
nothingness
arriving to the valley of nothingness
with aching back
and sore feet
can in the first approach
seem disappointing
confounding even
as it is never what was imagined
at the outset
yet perhaps it is precisely in
the valley of nothingness
that timid flowers thrive
perpetuation
golden sunrise
over dry landscapes
illuminating the dust
covering the world
yet somewhere in a secret corner
the opening
and unfolding
perpetuate
upsetting
the dissociation from
an image
gained through our upbringing
can be the more upsetting
that it is
liberating
apprenticeship
to observe with different eyes
might ask
for a whole new balance
to be found
just as
learning to be free
has its own apprenticeship
eyes
love is not always to be found
where we expect it
it sometimes occurs in places
where we expect it the least
which does not make one reality
truer than the other
only perhaps to be observed
with different eyes
success
when perfection becomes
the measure of success
the noble balance
of presence
might get lost
in the striving for it
when solving a problem becomes
the measure of success
the noble balance
of healing
might get lost
in the striving for it
when peace becomes
the measure of success
love might unfold
graciously
unfinished
unfinished business
is unfinished business
until every stone has been turned
every end bound
every step taken
to accomplish what ever task
claiming attention
