When pain is with you
and the story too
there is suffering
When pain is with you
and the story is gone
there is no suffering
Pain with the story
is suffering
Pain without the story
is enlightenment …
Pain is the fuel for the painbody, that resides in human bodies.
The painbody can not help to feed on pain: more pain is a growing painbody.
When the painbody can not feed on pain any more, it will die.
When it dies, who you really are can emerge.
Think about this
when you feel the painbody in you rising;
When you feel the painbody in the people around you:
children, partner, parents ….
Do not act out
Be still and go in
and find
Yourself …
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 …
When I comfort you in your grief,
do I want your grief to go away?
When I comfort you in your pain,
do I want your pain to go away?
What is grief, in essence?
What is pain, in essence?
What is comfort, in essence?
I am here for you
I am with you
I am you
… and if that is comfort
I am comfort itself …
Come sit in the grass
All your pain, it is enough
Listen to the wind, the trees
Listen to your silent voice
Come with all your fears and sorrows
Little precious child of God
Take one step and then another
On the path that is not there
To the non existing goal
And come home from worried pasts
In the not existing now …
