Don’t pretend yourself
Beyond your own evolution
And do not ever stop
being curious
about who you really are …

Alone
We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self.
It is a way of bitter suffering.
But when our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible.
And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity,
for in our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.

Vulnerable
Discovering in total openess
Speaking from deep stillness
Giving from total vulnerability
Receiving in total connectedness
Lets gentle softness surface
like fluffy clouds in midnight sky
Floats through the open windows
like little Whitsun flames
Gives boundless vulnerability
to You as Me
to Me as You …
Hands
I fold my hands
and praying comes
my eyes just flow with tears
Compassion and connectedness
touch me
so deeply
so intense
From stillness
praying gives
All I can do
is wait
in wordless silence
until the praying takes me
to the eternal Place
where All resides
and i
no longer am …
The moth and the flame
The sun has set at the horizon. No wind.
The candle lit and nocturnal noises come from evening distance
The stars appear, one by one
Breathing in, breathing out
Hands resting, watching
Moths circle the candle light
Closer, closer they come
irresistable drawn to the light.
A little crackle
and then the flame burns quietly again
not affected by what happened.
When has the moth become the flame?
When has the flame become the moth?
The moth in the flame is the flame.
We circle around the light that will burn us
The light will only burn the form
What never was born and never died
the Light that you are
Merges again
with the Light
that you were
are
will be …
