Praying

Praying

Praying is discovering and seeing, in ourselves, that we are light, innocence, peace. Prayer mirrors to us that we are innocent, fragile, little, helpless. It enables us to connect with the innocence in ourselves, the fragility, the littleness, the helplessness. When we pray we briefly allow ourselves to kneel down, to be still, to be emptiness in the presence of the light that we are. When we pray we connect with our possibility to give and to receive.

The secret of praying is so small that it is so big. It is everything that is born in you, all the time. And sometimes it helps us to see that. Dear child, you are the Child and God and Love and Light and Truth, for ever … Amen …

The secret of Christmas

Child, born in you
Light, born in you
Innocence, born in you
Peace, born in you

Christmas is about discovering and seeing, in ourselves, that we are light, innocence, peace, a child. Christmas mirrors that back to us: a child, innocent, fragile, little, helpless. It enables us to connect with the innocence in ourselves, the fragility, the littleness, the helplessness. At Christmas we briefly allow ourselves to kneel down, to be still, to be emptiness in the presence of the light that we are. At Christmas we connect with our possibility to give and to receive.

The secret of Christmas is so small that it is so big. Christmas is everything that is born in you, all the time. And sometimes, God, disguised as Christmas, helps us to see that. Dear child, you are the Child and God and Love andLight and Truth, for ever …

It is here …

When the meaning of the words: “It is here”
can not be explained anymore

When tears flow from the eyes
when you say those words

When you feel the heart jump
when you whisper those words

When the whole being
rejoices
in stillness

Then you know:
It is here …

Yes and/or No

When we listen to conversations
When we listen to ourselves

When somebody tells us something
and we react and disagree

When someone asks us a question
and we defend ourselves

There is so much ‘No’ …

‘No’ feeds resistance,
‘No’ feeds the mind
‘No’ separates us from our soul
‘No’ separates us from ourselves

Living is the art to say
‘Yes’ all the time to our soul
To acknowledge the voice within
To see where the other person is right
To digg deep within
To sit with our irritation
And not act out

Living is the art
to act in …

Words

Every word we use, we were taught
Every meaning of a word we use, we were taught

Every word is the verbalization of an impuls, a sensation we feel in the body
Every verbalization is an attempt to put into words what can not be put into words

Every feeling that is put into words
Every thought that is put into words
Every memory, association, perception that is put into words
Is an attempt to point at something which is beyond words

What is love
What is tenderness
What is compassion

Maybe we can not express what something is
Maybe we can only be what we are …
