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
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
there is nothing more frustrating
than being unable
to share
the love
we carry within
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
finding forgiveness
facing
the final farewell
fondly
favourably fostering
fountains of life
retrieving sensitvity
after a life
in numbness
also means
learning to handle
all the impressions
perceived
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
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
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
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
