Shy, so careful and distrustful,
never meeting tenderness
Step by step and hesitating,
Snorting what there is in front of you
After heavy and dense harshness,
Now in gentle openess
You may lay down
for the very first time,
your whole being in your heart …
It’s also there for you
my precious child of God
The pain is in the past now
With confidence and trust
with dedicated love
Not knowing where you’ll go
You peel
and peel
and peel
And in the depth
It finds
You …
The shooting stars didn’t make any noise that night
The orange moon set at the southern sky
The crickets chirped
The bats did their acrobats
And then, it became still, so still,
Feeling took the place of words
Gentleness took the place of harshness
Tenderness took the place of wanting to convince
Love took the place of wanting to have.
And suddenly,
in me,
heaven openend
and in the dark still night,
I was
the deep peace of Being …
Forget my words
Forget my stories
Forget what I said
Forget what I wrote
Forget me
and
you will
find Me
Forget me
and
you will
find You
And when
in still surrender
peace is born
And when
in silent peace
Love is born
Then
loving peace
is born
in you
When, in the chaos of your life,
Grace came to you
you embraced your pain
you embraced your sorrow
you embraced your fear
And on the wings of Truth
when stillness carried you
you embraced your freedom
you embraced your joy
you embraced your love
And finally
you embraced
You
I never was so touched
by what I saw in you
I never was so moved
by all your deepest pain
I always am who you are
and everything you are
I always will return
to where you think you are
I guide you to your goal
allthough you think you do
I am what you are searching
if you really want to find
I am your deepest truth
and am your deepest soul
I guide to to the depth
where you already rest …
I hold you in my arms
with gentle tenderness
Your fear, your pain,
your feelings, your thoughts,
your joy, your sorrow,
your birth, your death
And when the time has come
then I will let you go
and you will never know
that I have ever held you …
If you have the courage
to surrender to the deepest freedom
If you have the courage
to surrender to the naked unknown
If you have the courage
to surrender to what you are already
Then you don’t need courage anymore …
In the still, dew-filled morning we climbed
Bushes, teasing butterflies,
Hidden pathways, elusive waterfalls
Gorges, falling rocks
Higher we go, higher and higher
To the edge.
When we arrive
Sun on our faces
Moss under our feet
A wonderous sight.
We know we must return
Knowing it was worth the climb
We know we never left …
Wonderwalk
