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.

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.

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.

You Are That Love

If you truly love, who you love is yourself.

These words came crashing down on me like a tsunami wave.

If I truly love, who I love is myself?

Yeah right, who I love is myself.

This insight stems from my personal experience of love in my life.

I am the love I’m wishing for and I can solely direct that love towards myself.

Only from there (myself) I can love anything or anyone.

I can’t love someone without loving myself.

I can only love.

And if I love, I love everything and everyone – including myself.

I was craving love for as long as I can think of.

I never thought I would find it – no one thought I would.

Until I found it – within myself.

What if?

What if things go right?
What if everything does fall into place?
What if you do live up to your values?
What if you live happily ever after?
What if?
What if you discover joy and happiness within yourself?
What if there is a tomorrow that is slightly better than today?
What if you grow beyond what you thought is possible?
What if you free yourself from doubt?
What if?
What if you transform your fear into action?
What if nothing was lost anyways?
What if you liberate your decisions from the outcome?
What if you live your life to the fullest?
