Devoted Being

“My brethren did more harm to my heart in turning away than those men in town did with a razor.” ~Hutterite Paul Klempt When love is present, I do not fear missteps, nor abandonment, nor misunderstanding. I know that I am loved and held with respect, even when incongruous. In place of dread, commitment to awareness and presence are strengthened, giving rise to more compassionate, vigilant, loving and respectful being. Energy is freed for nurturing integrity and congruity, not wasted in worry about, then hiding or defending, imminent missteps. In the space that two people hold for such beauty, there

Meeting Within

🇸🇪 ❝ När jag får kontakt med djupet inom mig, då händer också något med mitt sätt att möta dig.❞ 🇬🇧 ❝ When I get in touch with the depth within me, then something also happens with my way of meeting you.❞ ~Are Norrhava, Djup tid och tunna ställen (Deep time and thin places) The quote above is a lovely soundbite, but what does it mean?

Two Dear Friends*

That day, that moment.Never ending, until its end. Embarrassing for the character.Surprising for the observer.Rather normal said Life. Ego and devotion, persistent in concert,Force-feed the hungry ghost. Not alone, never alone.Love. Held always in love.Do they know how deep their service? Presence on a platter,Dawned long before.A howl, a wail.A disgorging of sobs,Only God knows whence. Lifetimes of repression, and oppression,Chasing too,Erupted, spewed, discharged itself.No thing held back.So very weird, yet the mystic knew. Disoriented.Agast.Foolish and indiscreet.Relieved nonetheless.And, and, and what now? In the corner of the eye,Or is it the heart?Between every atom.Simple. Sincere.Awe. ❝ Those are the times
