It’s the season of discernment.
What wants to be released?
What wants to be contained?
Where are you heading?
And what do you leave behind?
Rough Diamonds
I write a bunch of stuff – sometimes the content is useful, sometimes not so much.
In order to process my spiritual and psychological insights I like to create some sort of poetry from time to time. Sometimes it’s just a few words, sometimes it’s a letter and sometimes it’s a whole story.
‘Rough Diamonds’ describes the current state of these snippets of text.
The Antidote
It’s the opening factor.
It’s the missing piece.
It’s the glue of all connection.
Love.
It’s astonishing how convinced I am that love is the only answer there is.
How can this be?
Because I can feel it. I can lean towards it and she always receives me well.
It’s a healing force that is bringing me into union – instantly.
Where there is resistance there is love too! It’s within the fraction! It’s within the contradiction!
Always – there is a way to love.
Always – there is love all the way.
That’s the antidote. That’s the healthy destruction of violence.
Let Greed And Anger be Your Opponents
Let greed and anger be your opponents and not your motors.
Fight a war in the name of love.
Respond. Cooperate. Unite.
Embrace the supposedly opposites.
The only war you will ever fight is the war within yourself.
Blame or Claim
Do you blame or do you claim? Do you choose freedom or do you lose your power over indecision? Do you try to fit into the standards of your surrounding or do you choose your own liberation over the patterns of the past?
Do you choose the freedom of your senses? The power of your intuition? Your intuitive knowing that always finds the way…
I came to terms with the fact that I am the one in charge.
I can’t have it all. Everything in life has its price. It’s just a matter of what I’m willing to pay. Do I pay with my freedom or with my insanity? Do I earn my liberation by choosing my free will at all costs?
No, neither do I select my thoughts nor do I choose my upbringing. But I am the one who responds. And this is how I change my life.
Yes, some things might not happen – and some things never will. Life is not what happens in my wildest dreams. Because life is not what happens in my dreams in the first place.
Life is what happens when I choose to be myself now and in every moment. Life happens when I allow myself to listen and when I forget, for a moment, where I’m coming from and what I have been told.
That’s when I invent myself anew: When I forget the story that has been told.
When I claim instead of blame…. This is when I open up to possibility. – And this is when no one else gets harmed.
Feel Love
Feel how it feels to love this love.
Wisdom is Nothing to Achieve
It can’t be learned. It is inherited.
It’s hidden in the within and in the inbetween.
It can only be cultivated in silence and harvested in devotion.
Nothing to Prove
You have absolutely nothing to prove, because you are the only one walking your path.
Whatever you do is highly individual; highly yours.
That’s all you need to know – about yoga and maybe about life?
Boundless Creation
She moves.
She grows.
She does not stop.She’s outrageous.
She’s here to stay.She flows – beyond our ignorance.
She involves – if we resist her or not.
She nurtures – what is here to evolve.
She destructs – what is here to dissolve.She does not stop where we stop.
Nature.
A Moment of Truth
Total stillness.
It’s a moment of truth.
Deep surrender.
And the realization that my home is within.
Nowhere but within.
Thoughts on Resistance
The resistance that is coming up is your light.
Beneath all the anger there is the gift.
All of your unfulfillment is your gift in disguise.
Your body wants you to express this gift.
This is your purpose, wanting to come alive.
Your resistance is your body asking for devotion.
When your cells move in harmony you reach flow.
Your body can make the impossible possible.
