how to behave

when

what one has tried to prove

over and over again

with nothing but failures

as outcome

is gently unfolding

as the most natural thing

in the world

the moment

one no longer tries to prove

the veracity

of its existence

timing

as a guideline

rather than a deadline

eternally holding on

to that inner clock

announcing

the proper hour

rather than imposing a rhythm

set by

fear

when the task

ahead

seems unsurmountable

it might be worth considering

what is behind

in order to receive the help

making it possible

to accomplish

what is to be

accomplished

and leave aside

what is to be left

aside

having two voices

crying in the heart

one of sheer despair

and one of utter faith

giving in to the first

while holding on

to the latter

daring to believe

all shall be well

while the world seems to be

falling a part

being considered

ridiculous

is not considered

being considered

might be considered

ridiculous

and beyond all sort of

consideration

is wisdom to be found

the sound of

a moorhen

in the morning

the sound of a woodpecker

at noon

the sound of an owl

in the night

can be

what it takes

to let

the wonders or creation

shine

in their proper grace

what a relief

no longer to believe

what is said

to be true

when being

belittled

what a joy to discover

that

what was being belittled

is

indeed

another expression of

an elegant talent for

care

being able

to care

is indeed

nothing to be

ashamed of

when love

is no longer

something

ought

to be

deserved

it might open our hearts

to

the unending abundance

of mercy

waiting since

the beginning of time

to run through our beings

in order to enter

the world

believing that

giving into desire

is opening the door

to the heart

is a temptation

as old

as the world

yet

the door to the heart

cannot be opened

without desire

which might be why

repressing desire

is not the answer

either

acknowledging it

for what it is

without giving in

nor

repressing

might cast the foundation

on which love

can build

without casting

shadows of guilt
