knowing one’s place
is an inevitable consequence of
accepting one’s limits
one’s measure
one’s task
leaving everything beyond this
where it belongs
grandeur
delusions of grandeur
is indeed
the pride which goes
before a fall
and the fall is
by no means
pleasant
but what a relief
salvation
knowing one’s own
hidden interest
can be
the beginning to
salvation
effort
reaching the end of desire
where no effort seems to make
sense anymore
might be what can get to the end of resistance
and let the light in
noticeably
to distinguish
the inner call
from basic needs
is an exercise of discernment
probably unending
while taking our basic needs
to be
an inner call
is just as erroneous as
confusing our inner call
to be our basic needs
both are to be tended
but in noticeably different manners
delusion
an intimate
mostly unconscious
conviction about
who we are
with no roots in
truth
is delusional
no matter how sincerely
we believe in it
unspoken
walking through the mist
while practising
staying in the unknown
unsolved
and unspoken
as long as required
for righteousness to surface
want
facing reality
can never be
painful
it is while we want it to be
something else than what it is
that pain settles
bully
being pushed into decisions
by the best of intentions
can also be
a way of
bullying
affection
giving in order to receive
is always an unbalance
also when
the return expected
is only a little bit of
affection
