home

coming home

to oneself

is the most peaceful sort

of happiness

on earth

apologies

apologies are such a graceful invention

to be asked

and to be granted

to give

and to receive

discipline

discipline might also be

just not to do

what is harmful

even if the harm is not immediate

the more when

the immediate consequence is pleasure

but the long perspective

harmful

discipline might also be

just to do

what is true

care

to care

can sometimes be

considerably more of a challenge

than one might be ready to

admit

the more when the one who needs to be cared for

is oneself

resignation

when the duty

to be happy

is weighing heavier

than happiness itself

one can with all rights call it

resignation

continuity

a new moon

a new day

another golden sunrise

revealing landscapes

where green is unfolding

covering the world

as life goes on

unfaithfulness

when the impression of unfaithfulness

is eating the mind

while no treachery has taken place

the treason is running on a whole different level

and the one being betrayed

the very soul

of the supposed betrayer

timing

calling a reality

by its proper name

is liberating

while it is done

in its proper moment

every other moment might be

destruction

truth may also be

a matter of timing

imprints

arrived at the border of

what is humanly possible

the choice to be carried out

is not necessarily obvious

but necessary

drastic changes of temperatures

are leaving dramatic imprints on nature

just as drastic changes are always leaving

dramatic imprints on body and mind
