difficulties

how to embrace

a difficult day ahead

is a question worth asking

and slightly less obvious to answer

one possible answer could be

a question of

direction

with a deeper consciousness about

what we aim for

it will not make the day

less difficult

nor will it make the difficulties

disappear

but they will no longer deprive the day

of its purpose

absence

coming home

after days of absence

is the more delicious

when home is where

we wish to be

water

heaps of sadness

manifesting in all sorts of ways

overflowing

where it is not supposed to

blocking where it is supposed

to flow

while the tide of the full moon

is having its own feast

playing with water

in all sorts of ways

just the same

being no one

in a world of someones

can sometimes be

a lonely experience

being someone

in a world of no ones

just the same

soothing

gentle soft summer rain

soothing sore scars

just below the surface

satisfying the thirst

of each cell

spreading peace to even the most remote corner

of memory

strength

being responsible

is such a delicate matter

which should always be treated

with utmost care

praise is a way

to carry it

weakness

dignity being

such a delicate matter

should always be treated

with utmost care

praise is a way

to reveal it

timeline

respecting the invisible timeline

takes courage to

a very different kind of courage indeed

but courage just the same

refreshing

refreshing summer rain

washing away the dust

cleaning the air

nourishing the earth

maintaining the subtle balance

of nature

allowing peace

to unfold
