Even now in death
They still reach
up and up and up
Untill they shall fall down
in cool and damp moist soil
Upwards I shall reach
Untill I fall to earth
and I will never know
that I have ever reached …
Intense
Light falls through dripping leaves
seen by thousand drops of mist
It seems as if the breath of God
rustles through all the trees
There never was a time in which
the wood, the tree, the leaf,
were so intense
in me and You
There never was a time in which
You were
so intense
in leaf and tree and wood …
Pain
Fleeing is
keeping on living in the dark illusion we call life
Fleeing is
denying the pain that leads to life
Pain is
the portal that leads to Stillness …
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 …
Grace
Die to everything you think you are
Die to everything you think you want to be
Die to everything you think you should be
Die to your joy
Die to your sorrow
Die to your birth
Die to your death
Dying to everything
comes effortless
at the right time
as
Grace
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 …
God
If God is everything,
how can you prefer
this over that,
more of this,
less of that?
If God is everything
how can you want
the other different
than he is?
If God is everything
how can you not want it
when life, which is God, meets
death, which is God?
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 …
Being
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 …
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 …
