muddled

being muddled

is not a state

of one’s own invention

but a consequence of discording stories

covering what is shameful

and expressing what is not true

as coherent as they might be

damaging

continuing old habits

with a new awareness

might be possible

but not without damaging

both

disconcerting

approaching the essence

after a life of escapism

is indeed

so disconcerting

that it suddenly becomes obvious

why most of us prefer to live

in illusions

yet

once the spell is broken

peace arises

and healing can begin

span

behind every rejection

lies an invitation

to receive

a deeper insight

a higher awareness

a broader perspective

a stronger perception

a wider span

it only takes

acceptance of

what is

in place of clinging to

what can never be

treat

fatigue

and laziness

are not to be treated

in the same manner

nor to be

misinterpreted

hence confounded

one is to be embraced

by compassionate rest

the other by

compassionate courage

where treating fatigue

with compassionate courage

is just as detrimental as

treating laziness with

compassionate rest

fostering

shame monopolising the vocal cords

pain moving differently

through the body

rain falling faintly

fostering fertility

mesmerising

taking every step

on the path

can at times be mesmerising

to degree

that one feels lost

in one single point

incline

the essential is not always being

what we are inclined to

yet it is still being

the essential

for us to make sense of

or not

profane

perceiving one’s wants

perhaps even desires

is an encounter of great beauty

and potent power

compulsory for anyone who wish

to bridge

the sacred

and the profane
