mandate

living according to

the rhythm

of our desire

or living according to

the rhythm of our heart

are two different mandates

our freedom is

to choose

beginning

beginning a new life

can very much look like

a sheer repetition

of what was already

and yet

something is

changed

as the cornerstone is no longer

the same

maelstrom

and below

the euphoria

of loving

without guilt

runs all the emotions

guilt had so meticulously suppressed

suddenly mounting to the surface

with no restraint

nothing to

moderate

nor regulate

their maelstrom

and all there is to do

is facing them one by one

with love

compassionate

what a

compassionate light of mercy

indeed

when love is given

to find its expression

without shadows

of guilt

whilst

building up a life

from the ground

can seem

unreasonable

whilst

we are in the middle of it

yet

what has never been done

has never been done

and there is no other way around

than to lie down

a proper foundation

if we wish

the structure.

to stand erect

and be ready

certainty

when certainty

is no longer dependent on

material security

a door opens softly

towards wisdom

as a secret

delicately

unfolding

hold on

slowly

gently

softly

accepting

to

get hold on

while

the past many years were

mostly about

letting go

positioned

in between

guilt

and confidence

love

can only

increase

waiting for

the mind to settle

the heart to be positioned

and the body

to heal

particular

leaving behind

a way of being

might also mean

leaving behind

the beings

on that particular way
