receiving what is already there

also means

receiving with an open and generous

heart and mind

what we would not necessarily

have chosen

embracing wholeheartedly

what we might consider

distressing

to let it find

the proper place

from where peace emanates

being able to receive

what is already there

and let it bear

fruit

to care

so deeply

that grace is imbued

receiving a letter

full of dots

bursting with peace

and words

overflowing with love

as the tangible manifestation of

a precious dove

coming from above

feeling miserable

is not a crime

just an expression

that something needs to be

tended

most probably something else

than what we ourselves

had decided to be

important

being able to appreciate

what we are given

is about the most gracious gift

to receive

and being given the ability to accept it

a grace

allowing the otherworld

to permeate

into what can sometimes feel like

an awful mess

discovering

our part of responsibility

in what is happening

to us

is indeed

a redemption

as this is the only position

where we truly have the power

to intervene

being able to distinguish

false

from truth

is not necessarily an invitation to

condemn

though it is always

an invitation

not to say a freedom

for us to choose

between the false

and the truth

where

being a victim

and a failure

in the eyes of others

does not necessarily mean

that is all one is

the urge to condemn

what we believe to be wrong

might more than anything express

our failure to trust

what we believe to be true

confusing privileges

with grace

can be a both highly dangerous

and all too explosive alchemy

to play with

yet it is what most of us do

most the time

feeling loved

can be at distances from

being told

this is what we are
