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

unending

openness

is not only a matter of

speaking one’s mind

it is also an unending exercise

of listening inwards

in order to discern

what is on one’s heart

privilege

walking every step of the path

in its own time

and its own rhythm

might be considered

a privilege

though it is a privilege which never comes

without the decision to

receive it

drawing

golden morning light

falling on the wall

drawing the mind

back into the present

meeting what is

to be met

facing what can be

faced

wash

soft silent

summer rain

washing away another layer

of old and lingering shame

organisation

organisation is indeed

helpful and essential

for the outcome of any event

though any event can also

lose its essence

into organisation

and all there is left

is flawlessness

than

confidence

is just as delicate

as it is powerful

just as hurtful when placed

in wrong places

than healing when nourished

by love

heatwave

summer silence

preparing for the heat

softly covering the world

in its warm embrace
