wit

when peace is settling

between our inner world

and the world around us

something beyond our imagination

our understanding

our wit

can take place

raising suffering

into grace

generous

making peace with life

is making peace with death

and everything in between becomes

a generous unfolding of

wonders

while awe is the essence

of the air we breath

within

there is nothing more frustrating

than being unable

to share

the love

we carry within

pursuing

closing circles

making peace

gaining awareness

that no one can be there

for anybody

as long as one is not able

to be there

for oneself

having nothing in common with

pursuing one’s own

interest

handling

retrieving sensitvity

after a life

in numbness

also means

learning to handle

all the impressions

perceived

guilty

being held responsible

for the lacks

in others

does not make anyone else guilty of

their incapacities

and no one is guilty of

incapacities

as long as they are recognised

as such

readjusted

breaking a pattern

which

was laid down in the mind

as a matter of survival

at a specific occasion

without ever being

readjusted

can feel like dying

even when the breaking is

what sets us free

remember

remembering what we are given

when everything seems lost

can be more rewarding than

receiving without end

what we do not need

but have come to believe

we cannot live

without

undermining

being treated as

a helpless child

where

a faith both deep and sincere

is guiding every step

is softly undermining

the sublime

transforming light

into heaviness

weighing even further down

what could have been

lifted up into grace
