adding on

adding on

without ever regarding

what is left undone

is satisfying desire

without healing the wound

is perfect survival

without necessarily being

fully alive

generational

wondering how

life became

so utterly

different

while savouring the liberation

from generational expectations

conversation

when presence answer

the inner call

and the inner call answers

the presence

an extraordinary conversation

begins to take place

extraordinary yet given

to everyone who answers their inner call

please

wanting to please

can be

a strong urge

perhaps not obvious

to change

what can be changed

is who we wish

to please

advice

when every advice received

feels inappropriate

giving advice might not be

the appropriate approach

to life

overwhelmingly

when every effort is spent

hiding truth

not only do life become

overwhelmingly complicated

it also loses

its essence

and little by little

everything is lost

embarrassment

laying the cards on the table

can be both vulnerable

and uncomfortable

can open into what seems

an embarrassing silence

though in that very embarrassment

truth can be found
