Don't give up
breathe your life in
breathe your pain out
longing for the soul
reach out to others
and
balance
yourself
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




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.
