when caring for
basic needs
is being reflected as
selfishness
the grip on reality
is little by little undermined
until it is
entirely lost
declaration
declaring defeat
in front of
a painful illusion
seems strangely enough
unbearable
whereas bearing a permanent humiliation
is the prize being paid
to avoid it
pearls
distilling old anger
into pearls of wisdom
thoroughly observing
that not a single drop
of the essence
is escaping
the barrel
forcing
being in a state of confusion
for too long
is necessarily undermining
the inner structure
and yet
for as long as confusion is there
clarity cannot be forced
no matter how obvious everything seems
to everyone else
when
when peace and clarity
are cultivated in the mind
life unfolds
harmoniously
and when life unfold harmoniously
peace and clarity
are cultivated in the world
unwanted
feeling unwanted
is simply suffocating
no matter how much
the opposite
is being told
bound
coming back
to the source
loosening what had been bound
by wounds
opening for light to enter
where darkness had ruled
to
leave the shadows
to the shadows
and the night
to the night
deadlock
when the eager to live
returns
after a passage
through a deadlock
what was taken for granted
might be received
as mercy
what was expected
might be shared
with love
eloquent
after a time of
suppressed silence
the expression of thoughts
ideas
and emotions
might not be
as adequate
and as eloquent
as they seemed
in the depth of the mind
yet
expressing them is
essential
for reality to
reveal itself
