Month: January 2025

when purpose

persist

and perseverance

is no longer a burden

rather a play

it might be

that dawn is breaking

into day

being unable to make

an independent decision

can be just as disabling

as being unable to take

advice

yet neither is disabling

for as long

as the behaviours are accepted

for what they are

the weakness

which makes

our strength

when fear is blinding

even paralysing

there might be no reason

to open

the eyes

all one can do

is holding on

to that inner light

which is able

to bring us through

when surrendering meant

being abused

regaining the ability

to surrender

might take years

even lifetimes

where there is no one to blame

only discipline

to practice

over and over again

until

resilience is

anew

resilient

a drawing

two glorious conversations

a written message

can be what it takes

to uplift a day

beyond the exhaustion

running below

every effort

to overcome it

whirling wind

after a long night’s sleep

still without recovering

the inner balance

which has been lost

for so many years

that it is becoming

almost impossible

to remember

it ever was

any different

but only

almost

and it is

in that very almost

hope is embedded

when giving care

was all

one ever wanted

to do

while being told

to be

a bundle of

unbearable troubles

it can take time

for the mind

to find the confidence

that giving care is all

one was ever meant

to do

breaking through

the stories

which have been

sunk into our being

long before

consciousness had any word

to say

brings clarity to the core

of every cell

truth is indeed

eternal

though

can only be grasped

in fragments

which makes truth

malleable

as we need to adjust

to the span

of our insight

always remembering

there is something left

we cannot see

silent falling rain

reminding

that wisdom is to be found

in a sphere

where knowledge cannot reach

where no pride

can enter

nothing be

understood

only accepted

and received
