Writing for Fun

This post simply grew from a wish to write, after having read a traveller’s site.  It was rather a personal wish than an impulse as will often make me write that caused me to write it directly into the blog.

I know, that I should write;

yet, how should I know

if ever

I reach those, who wish

to read my words?

 

There is an ocean, and beyond its shore

love waits. But who amongst you can tell me

from whose grace, or from whose heart it does spring?

 

I know I shall wait. And, patiently, until the time has come

to leave the guardian

and be the friend

I was.

To you, whom I do not yet know

I bring my greetings. To you, I do know

I say: “Well – good bye”.

 

The Heart is at Love always;

but the One is within and without;

and thus, truest in BEING

the One comes, remains – as it shall BE.

Joy and Dance

In the context of reading this article and a question here, I wrote:

Dance the dance of Joy,

dance the Freedom of your Love.

Dance the dance, no fear be nigh;

dance the dance, and from above

Heaven will its blessings bring. Heaven be thy Star;

dance the dance, infinity

brings the Light – no dark

shall rise again.

 

In you, there is but Freedom.

In you does Love prevail.

In you is precious Freedom;

in you does Love prevail.

Den Weg mit Herz gehen

Diese Nacht habe ich einen interessanten Film gesehen – das koreanische Original [auf Deutsch, man kann ihn übrigens auf Deutsch online finden, etwa auf myvideo.de, soweit das am Abrufort legal ist oder bei amazon erwerben] – : My Sassy Girl (kor. 엽기적인 그녀 bzw. 獵奇的인 그女; Yeopgijeogin geunyeo).

In den letzten Monaten habe ich mich beim Anschauen asiatischer Filme etwas zurückgehalten, da ich dachte, das täte ich besser in Asien; und bei japanischen Filmen war ich mir nicht immer sicher, inwieweit es gut sei, das jetzt zu aktualisieren.

Dieser Film aber hat sich emotional gesehen und vielleicht auch spirituell gelohnt, jedenfalls enthält er eine tiefe Lehre am Ende.

Auf Grund der potentiellen Gesetzeslage zitiere ich die Worte dort lieber gerade nicht, aber die Essenz ist diese, die ich hier in einem Gedicht ausdrucken möchte… Dachte ich, nun habe ich vielleicht auch anderes gesagt. Der Film ist auf jedenfall sehr schön und kann zu Vertrauen führen. Ich erinnere mich auch wieder an Gespräche mit einem Freund in Japan über “縁”.

Follow your heart, wherever it leads you,

thou shalt be fine. For fate cannot hinder

what needs to blossom

within and without

fate is the servant

of Heart.

Thus, it shall be.

 

Der Titel meines Eintrages verrät, worauf es hinausläuft. Wenn man auf die Worte am Ende des Filmes hört, kann man besser und glücklicher durch das Leben gehen, denke ich.

“Gedichte für die Nacht”: Reading in Esslingen am Neckar

I will be 1 of 10 poets taking part in Rosen‘s Sommer-Salon in a reading organised by the Stadtbücherei [Municipal Library] Esslingen in cooperation with Rosen’s Lyrik-Salon. A singer-songwriter will perform a few songs in between the individual contributions.

The event will take place in the context of the Bouquinist Festival on Saturday, September 22nd at 22 h in the library, either in the courtyard or the caféteria, depending on the weather.

Entry will be free.

For more information also see here.


If I want to live. If I want

to be the Light,

if I want to give,

if I want to stop the fight,

 

I will have to be the stars,

I will have to seek

that, what truely is;

my light, shall it be not meek.

 

Notes:

Grammatically, should the last line read “it shall be…”?

I wrote the poem when wondering what to do next.

 

 

On the Power of Ideas

I just have seen the second part of “Schutzengelngel auf Skiern” (Terror on Skis) from the series “Charlie’s Angels” (“Drei Engel für Charlie”).

There was a scene, in which, while evil took its course in the whiteness of the winter world, the people were celebrating on the hills, the lights looking like glow worms at night – a beautiful scene. And, yet, there was terror, not far distant.

That terror only could take place, because someone believed in an idea – and acted, as the construction of thought that possessed him seemed to bide.

The world would be a beautiful place, if we would not act on our ideas, but let life create through us unobstructedly. Any fighting is between ideas, any wrong is done, because someone believes in or fears something. Fear itself may be an emotion.

But, as is the separation of the world in good and bad, based on an idea: the idea, that one is separate – for only in separateness, or from the idea of separateness – the idea, that something is or might be lost, can fear arise.

That separateness is the “cause of all our woe“.

Therefore, in the world the power of thought, the power to disseminate, to impart ideas, is truly great – and maybe there could lie a task for those, whose gifts are the words (also cf. here). But, yet, the higher power lies in the REALISATION, that separateness does not, will not, and did never exist, but as a thought, the veil of Maya.

Let us all SEE.

Eternity

is nothing

but what IS.

Thus,

be HIS

and blessed

by the Force

that transcends

the idea of duality

in you, in me, in everyone.

Peace

It is done.

 

Remark: I am not sure I should have included the poem in this post.

Inspired by W. E. Hanley (and Leonard Nimoy)

After retweeting this tweet and reading the previous tweets ( by Leonard Nimoy from W. E. Hanley’s “Invictus”. I tried to let me inspire. It may not be my finest work, but still I feel I should put the verses, that came, here:

I love thee, dear – no fear to be
a truth at all, for once you are
what heaven wants, t h a t is what b e.
For thou art HIS, yes, all around.

A bit later I wrote:

I shall not fear,
but rise anew
to where my sun has gone.

I am of Life,
and I renew –
just as my Life
is all that is.
