obedience

obedience

is essential

to reach freedom

but when obedience is becoming

the goal in itself

it can be considered

nothing less

than another obstacle

on our path

to liberation

a day of rain

a day of rain

would do no harm

a day of rain

would bring the world

to its full dimension

a day of rain would reach

perfection

but perhaps it is time

for living without a day of rain

without abandoning

our full dimension

just because things are not

as we would like them to be

available

being available

is not as easy

nor as obvious

as it might sound

in a certain way

it is a discipline

in itself

with or without

rain

disproportionate

enough is enough

the reaction will always be

disproportionate

but often necessary

for consciousness to break through

old patterns

once consciousness is attained

the choice will open

whether we stay in the reaction

or position ourselves accordingly

invitation

cold is slowing down nature

after a burst of heat

instability is indeed

difficult to deal with

whether it is being

emotional

or physical

it can be though

an invitation

to reach

beyond

decrease

when the distance between

what is thought

and what is being spoken

decrease

peace settles in

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
