there is nothing unusual in
being bored
though interpreting boredom
as lack of lucidity
can be detrimental
alert
sometimes an answer is given
with greater precision than
even the most brilliant mind can grasp
hence express
when the inner ear is wide open
and the heart alert
underestimate
there are so many sorts of
dependence
and none of them
are to be praised
for as long as they are
dependences
no matter how glorious
they might appear
though something is to be praised
in every person
and that something should never be
underestimated
blame
blame is a poison
eroding every heart
while perfused into it
in regular drops
cold sets in
and what was meant to be
abundance of love
turns into
depths of despair
unbearable
when forbearance grows
unbearable
the intention of care
turns into overbearingness
believing
there is nothing erroneous in
believing in love
it does make a difference though
to discern
what kind of love
we believe in
principle
when principles
grow more important than
the presence
reality is lost
sale
selling our souls
for the illusion of love
is a much more common practice
than most of us are ready to admit
….
to be there for anyone
is not a matter of decisions
nor intentions
if what the someone needs
is not in our power
to give
….
accepting our limits
and weaknesses
might be
the shortest way
to peace
unilateral
when every observation
even the most tender one
is being perceived
as an attack
communication becomes
if not impossible
then highly simplistic
and purely unilateral
shut
being told to shut your mouth
is neither very elegant
nor very pleasant
all the more
that the reason to speak out
was never to harm anyone
rather the shy expression of
a deep longing for forgiveness
