to stay with the pain

touching grace

silently

is not a promise

about

being without pain

only

it offers the possibility

to stay with the pain

without suffering

difficult

when negligence

becomes a way

of life

and everything

is always

the other’s responsibility

it can be difficult

to love

and without love

it is difficult

to live

lack of confidence

dissolving

a lifelong

lack

of confidence

can take

a couple of

sleepless

nights

for the new inner balance

to settle

definitively

considering

receiving an excuse

can be perceived as

a miracle

when

one has spent the life

considering

everything

was one’s own

fault

losing balance

no longer to feel

responsible

for things

one has no responsibility in

whatsoever

can feel like losing balance

for a moment

until

the responsibility has settled

where it belongs

cautious

when the reason we are told

to be cautious

is not obvious

it might be worth it

taking the time

listening into

what lies behind

and position ourselves

accordingly

categorically

when our capacity to perceive

what we feel like

has been

categorically impeded

we might end up

spending our lives

trying to figure

who we are

whereas

it can only be revealed to us

through

our senses

somersault

beginning to trust

help is always

to be found

can be such a somersault

for the mind

that it takes time

practice

and perseverance

to reach a certain stability

in the movement

and on the way towards that very same

stability

one might find oneself

the nose in the grass

more than once

hidden

deep inside

every person

lies

a spot

where

peace reigns

and when we become able to

perceive that hidden corner

of our being

the secret is to learn

how

never to permit ourselves

to be separated from it

daily

daring to believe

happiness is possible

when life has tried

to convince a mind

of the opposite

can for a while be

a daily exercise

to be practiced

with perseverance

and faith
