Learning

How can you not do
what you are doing
in this moment?

How could you not do
what you did
in the past?

How did you learn
of what you did
in the past?

How does what you did
in the past
shape your future?

We do what we do. We fall and stand up and will probably do it differently the next time. Falling down is not bad and getting up is not good. Falling is falling and getting up is getting up. Falling can only exist because of getting up. Getting up only exists because of falling down.

You can not do only the getting up because then falling down would not exist. The one is there and the other is there. That is called: duality. This is not good or bad and that is not good or bad. Both are polarities on the line that binds them together. When does falling down becomes getting up? And when does getting up becomes falling down?

Form and emptiness, love and fear, presence and absence: the one exists thanks to the other and the other exists thanks to the one. Duality is like a song; sung for the One. The One that has no opposite. In That everything exists. And That has no name …

Nothingness

Nothingness

… that it is the nothingness, born out of trust, which the horses follow …

Nothingness
always present
sometimes burried
under blinding somethingness

Emptiness
always present
sometimes burried
under deafening fullness

Born from nothingness and emptiness
you walk your way
over mountains and through valleys
to find you again
where you never left
in nothingness and emptiness …

Love and sex

Who did ever tell you
that love had anyhting to do with sex?

Who did ever tell you
that love had anything to do with troth?

Who did ever tell you
that love had anyhting to do with form?

I am about to tell you
that this is not the truth,
that this is just a story
that people used to tell

The love you’re looking for
can not be found outside
The love you’re looking for
is the essence of your soul

This is a whole new story
that is the truth, perhaps.
It’s not possible to believe this
One day you can just BE it …

Let go

When God closes a door, he somewhere opens a window ...

When time has come
And you have set you free
I will just once look back
and then I’ll go my way

I do my chores
And sometimes I look up
As if I heard a sound
That sounded just like you

No expectations, no desire,
And in my heart the knowing
That if you want to come to me
You will find the way

And there you were,
panting and full of sweat
So proud that you have made it
Through the wide and scary world

I love you when you leave
And love you when you come
Because I know that that
Takes place in what I am …

Come and go

Waves, sea, rock

You came and went
and sometimes I believed
that you would only come
and never go away

And suddenly I understood
that coming here and going there
are one and the same, of course,
that no one comes or goes

That I’m the space in which
the coming and the going passes
That I’m not that what comes and goes
that I am that what is …

Lovestory

You never ever hurt me
Although I did believe that
What I told me about you
That hurt-ed so intense

Now finally all my stories
Returned to where they came from
And warm light winds start whispering
The new ones in my ears

Soft rains fall now upon me
And cherish and caress me
And new words gentle land
In open fertile soil …
