finding the weaknesses
in one’s own world view
can be an invitation to
view the world
gossip
knowing how to differentiate
between
gossip
and
throwing light upon
damaging behaviours
is essential
as the word
creates
unfamiliar
being caught
rather than falling through
can be so unfamiliar
that one feels lost
until
the mind has grasped
there is danger
no more
shield
no longer to
absorb
projected despair
is a considerable relief
thought it might take
some resilience
until
the shield has grown thick enough
to become
a mirror
every act
every act
rooted in
guilt
is leading towards
brokenness
every act
rooted in
love
is leading towards
healing
without condemnation
seeing through
a lie
without condemnation
is receiving the truth
to be found
on the other side
where freedom unfolds
unconditionally

holy
to receive what is good
and discard
what is unworthy
to praise what is holy
and silence what is false
to be in glory
embracing the darkness
waist
taking the trouble
to troubleshoot
might seem
a waist of time
in a world where
everything
can be
replaced
though replacing something
which only needs care
in order to fulfil
its purpose
might also be considered
a waist
unfair
when what seemed
unbearable
is no longer
a burden
and what felt
unfair
leads to righteousness
what was
is
no more
