Now

Now

I searched for you in the past
and couldn’t find you
Not with the dead, in history,
Not in the old stories

I searched for you in the future
and couldn’t find you
Not with the living, in plans,
Not in new dreams

I searched for you in the now
and couldn’t find you

Realizing that
the now does not exist
That I always was
That I never was

I found me
Just like that
Suddenly …

Dying

Dying 

Summer dies to fall and leaves the warmth behind
Sometimes there is a touch of summer still on a warm day
And then at last she breathes her last breath

Fall in her restlesness
sweeps branches and cuts trees
So glad that now the storm can have its life
and she can show off all her splendid colours

Then on her cold bleak feet winter blizzards in
And rests upon all creatures of the earth

When spring comes and the buds unfold
the circle round, and again 
life unfolds,
life feeds on life,
everything dies to everything
again, and again, and again …

Effortless

Effortless

What you think you want to be, you are already
And you don’t have to believe that.
How can you believe that
Which is beyond belief?

Not to be found outside of you,
Beyond thinking,

One time, what you think you want to be,
comes to you, effortless,
Unexpected,
Unbelievable,
Miraculous,
Simple …

Sage

Sage 

Everything you read
Everything you hear
will lead you to you

Everyone you meet
Everyone you avoid
will lead you to you

Every sage
Every fool
will lead you to you

The experience is in you
The meeting is in you
The sage is in you

The sage in you,
who you essentially are,
will lead you
to You …
