Month: March 2023

releasing a whole long life of

anxiety

in one single breath

can be a surprising experience

for the mind

oxygenising every cell in a manner

so far

unknown to the body

staying with the mood

even when the mood is

neither flattering

nor pleasant

not to let it rule

nor to let it spoil

only to give it

the exact amount of attention

for it to dissolve

finding our place

in time and space

might less be

a question of making

than a question of receiving

what is already

and pass it on

being run down by fear

under the rain

while trying to run away

from both

is pointless

and with no point

no focus

whereas love is always around

as long as an eye

is kept on it

receiving unworthiness

with soft tenderness

and a cup of tea

might be

a new way to greet

an old friend

gaining awareness of having entered

the underworld of the underworld

where no shadow of grievous sadness

can reach

is in its own mysterious way

a tender relief

being able to respond to

the unexpected

might be a step into

the vastness of freedom

surrendering to the call

also while

the call is not

of any glory

but a peace so subtle

it can easily pass

unnoticed

listening inwards

is not done

by creating space and time

to be able to do so

listening inwards also requires

being available

to take into account

whatever surfaces

another cold morning

potent with purpose

kindled with care

honouring the honesty

of being aware
