Don't give up
​
breathe your life in
​
breathe your pain out
​
longing for the soul
​
reach out to others
and
balance youself
​
on the path of happiness
in the endurance
through pain
Monumental achievements
are not monumental
step by step
day by day
​
That is why
you need to
know
who you are
​
A fish does not live in a garden
a butterfly does not flutter in graves
​
Leave the place of abuse
Leave the place of agression and fear
​
and find yourself
​
step by step
Today
is now
is not
tomorrow
is not
the past
Here and Now
forever
Therefore
live in the TRUTH
Pursue the light
and live
Pain
is the indicator of a problem
embrace!
FEAR is the warning sign for danger
embrace!
​
Pain without danger is dangerous
and destructive.
​
Listen to your pain.
Don't take pain-killers.
​
Listen to your pain
and heal
with the power of
time.
​
Listen to your fear
​
and move away from danger.
​
Equip yourself with the harness of endurance
that you can
spot danger quickly
and not live in destruction.
​
Move away from danger
​
and embrace the PEACE of a normal quiet life
that nourishes you into old age.
Old AGE
Young man
baby
unborn
What time is it?
How old are you?
Now!??
​
Conceived
alive
and ..... no ..... more .....
and during a lifetime of questions
the answer
has always been IN YOU.
Travel
Let's go
Let's move
let's go far away
​
where people are poorer or richer
​
where the sun shines stronger or less
​
Let the winds
​
blow
​
through your soul
​
and try to travel
​
with your heart in your home
​
FAT
My fat surrounds me
as a safety belt
it keep me warm and slow
Goodbye my fat
I leave you now
and step out
into the world
and learn
in insecurity
to walk
with a light
and a peace
in my heart
So I do not need to
run anymore.
Money
​
We used to swap a cow for grain
​
Now we don't own a cow
Now we don't have grain
​
we go to the supermarket
and have milk in carton boxes
and we pay at the till
with paper, coins or cards
​
In order to do so
we spend 8 to 10 or more hours
away from our lives and homes
​
just to
​
go to the supermarket
​
FIND YOUR GRAIN
FIND YOUR COWS.
​
IT
Do you like me?
Do you share?
Have you heard?
I post my food when I go out
I pose in front of someone else's house
I photograph my flowers and achievements
Selfies
are no biographies
they are distortions of moments
that happened to other people
Find yourself
Keep your love and peace
Listen to your heart
Now
Story NOW
Info NOW
Update NOW
​
Interest NOW
​
Gamble so the NOW gets quicker
and no one needs to value
​
TIME
HOPE
Jesus is my hope
​
my anchor
​
my light
​
I live with Jesus
​
​
So I have hope and focus
​
Try it
​
Father
"Father God"
​
and many feel sick -
​
because of their father
​
who betrayed ​​
I weep for y ou
my friend
​
My fatherless
friend
​
My motherless
friend
​
I embrace you
​
I walk with you
​
My child.
​
