recognising our needs
does not set us free
to claim what is not ours
but it sets us free to observe
this is what
a part of us
does
and instead of being ruled by
an invisible power
offers the opportunity of
visibility and love
recognition
the shift of the moon
being celebrated
by a gentle summer rain
enhancing the smells
of flowering trees
softly caressed by
a silent summer breeze
being unable to recognise
one’s own needs
is a shortcut to
dependence
might
there might be several ways
to deal
with guilt
one being
to sit with it
until it dissolves
as the threads of emotions grow visible
and thereby lose their power
another one being
to ask for forgiveness
and thereby create openings
for love to flood the heart
and these were only two of all the possible ways
whatever way is chosen
might not be essential
the essential being
that one is
burden
being born into the world
feeling guilty of being alive
can be a heavy burden
to drag around
and ever so difficult
to release
needless
being propelled
out of one’s course
for no other reason than
the need of entertainment of others
is as sad
as it is
needless
waste
what a waste
to spend our lives
in fear of our weaknesses
to be revealed
while it is by
standing erect in our frailest weakness
that the sublime power of our being
unfold
inaction
being in
inaction
does not mean
nothing is being done
purifying deeper layers of
conscience
often takes
a certain amount of
inaction
given
being given to awaken
the dignity
where it was lost
can be a meaning of life
in itself
trustworthy
feeling trusted
and trustworthy
can be honey
for the soul
a healing balm
for the heart
a breeze of joy
through the mind
childhood dreams
waking up to a headache
and a mind full of undigested impressions
was perhaps not part of the childhood dreams
though it might be a reality
worth facing
for what it is
