the sky falling open
into cloudburst
pouring the maximum of water
in the minimum of time
washing away human efforts
as were they worthless
useless
superficial
compared to a deeper balance
of life
procrastination
the resonance of a word
can sometimes evoke
a feeling
opposite
to its meaning
procrastination can sometimes be
an awaiting of
the proper moment
for action to be
senses
looking out
into the world
through clean windows
can be
revealing
the smell of blossoming irises
enrapturing
the sound of early birds
enchanting
the touch of soft skin
liberating
the taste of life itself
delivering
discretion
another discreet sunrise
another week
another day
how essential discretion can be
on powerful days
not to be confused
with holding back the light we are given
a discrete sunrise
is still a sunrise
just as the sun is still there
behind the clouds
lightness
light all over
golden morning light
red evening light
glorious inner light
filling bones and hearts
with lightness
no
a closed no
can be
a heart breaking experience
where a changed attitude
can open
a closed heart
anchoring
closing circles
walking rounds
inhabiting another territory
of the soul
polyglot
learning to speak the language of silence
can be more of a challenge
than one expect
there can be joyful silence
there can be silence of sadness
there can be brutal silence
there can be compassionate silence
and there can be
silence of grace
temptation
understanding might not always be
the shortest way to truth
even if it is dangerously tempting
to believe so
new
a different landscape
different smells
different colours
different earths
different birds
different butterflies
different dreams
