Lying in wait
I sit, I breathe, I lie in wait
In search for just the right mind state
To catch a thought that may create
A thought that yet my soul may sate
But oh my! It does not come
So it seems I am undone
This poetry will speak to none
And still - and still I write it down
To capture essence of the hunt
This is the message, and it's blunt
You can't force from your heart what's true
Indeed, beautiful poetry
Is found in letting things just be
In sitting still, what you pursue
Will break free and come out of you
In search for just the right mind state
To catch a thought that may create
A thought that yet my soul may sate
But oh my! It does not come
So it seems I am undone
This poetry will speak to none
And still - and still I write it down
To capture essence of the hunt
This is the message, and it's blunt
You can't force from your heart what's true
Indeed, beautiful poetry
Is found in letting things just be
In sitting still, what you pursue
Will break free and come out of you

A home always with me
I realized this evening
That wherever I will live
Wherever I will go
Whatever I will do
I have a home always with me
This home is my body
And when I just sit and let thoughts and feelings come and go
Then increasingly I feel at home inside myself
In the physical feelings
And the very fulfilling practice of doing nothing at all
They say all of the problems of man
Come from him or her not being able to be
Alone in a room with his thoughts for 30 minutes
But consequently
If you train yourself to...
That wherever I will live
Wherever I will go
Whatever I will do
I have a home always with me
This home is my body
And when I just sit and let thoughts and feelings come and go
Then increasingly I feel at home inside myself
In the physical feelings
And the very fulfilling practice of doing nothing at all
They say all of the problems of man
Come from him or her not being able to be
Alone in a room with his thoughts for 30 minutes
But consequently
If you train yourself to...

Be free
Today the sun is shining
And a voice whispers to me
Be free
Don't be a slave to desire
Or the fire
Of your thoughts and feelings
Take all within
And just take it in
Like a beautiful scene
Decide what it means to you
And then decide what to do
You can decide anew
In every moment
Within the possibilities of your means
A golden freedom gleams
You have the power
This is the hour
To listen to the voice within
There is no sin
But to be a slave
As long as you don't hurt...
And a voice whispers to me
Be free
Don't be a slave to desire
Or the fire
Of your thoughts and feelings
Take all within
And just take it in
Like a beautiful scene
Decide what it means to you
And then decide what to do
You can decide anew
In every moment
Within the possibilities of your means
A golden freedom gleams
You have the power
This is the hour
To listen to the voice within
There is no sin
But to be a slave
As long as you don't hurt...

Devotion
If you want to master something
You have to practice it
Over and over
Through all the difficulties
Again and again
I have found the thing I want to master
In this season of my life
It is living in silence
And cultivating a calm mind and a peaceful soul
Meditation is how I will do it
To seek the silence of my breath
In and out
Again and again
This road will be long
But I feel like this is right for me
In this season of life
And if my life ever becomes loud again
My devotion...
You have to practice it
Over and over
Through all the difficulties
Again and again
I have found the thing I want to master
In this season of my life
It is living in silence
And cultivating a calm mind and a peaceful soul
Meditation is how I will do it
To seek the silence of my breath
In and out
Again and again
This road will be long
But I feel like this is right for me
In this season of life
And if my life ever becomes loud again
My devotion...

The temple
Inside my heart there is a temple
It is open and wide
It is beautiful and grande
It welcomes everyone who wants to visit
Sorrow
Anxiety
Fear
Joy
Peace
Pain
Love
And many more
All sit in this quiet hall
And though some visitors scream and shout
Their voices have enough space to echo
And the echoes soon die in the all-encompassing silence
Acceptance is the temple
That holds life with love
It is open and wide
It is beautiful and grande
It welcomes everyone who wants to visit
Sorrow
Anxiety
Fear
Joy
Peace
Pain
Love
And many more
All sit in this quiet hall
And though some visitors scream and shout
Their voices have enough space to echo
And the echoes soon die in the all-encompassing silence
Acceptance is the temple
That holds life with love

In beauty
I rest in beauty, in the light
For now clothed in serenity
I feel a truth deep in my heart
It is the truth I longed to see
I screamed and suffered, hurt and cried
I longed for peace, I longed for love
Until I found it deep within
For we are all gifts from above
Each one a star, a giant risen
An endless possibility
The world needs truth, truth from within
The truth that only you can see
I rest in breath, and feel I live
In ways much deeper than I have
I know forevermore my path
Quietly to the light of...

Open to receive
I stand at the window and stare out
and feel that I found what my life is about
Like into the cup the water we give
My heart is open to receive
Whenever I stop to open and feel
And let everything just be as it is
I feel that the world and I made a new deal
It's become my lover and greets me with a kiss
And finally I feel that I turned from death
and finally I feel I am ready to live
For whatever life will give
I am open to receive
and feel that I found what my life is about
Like into the cup the water we give
My heart is open to receive
Whenever I stop to open and feel
And let everything just be as it is
I feel that the world and I made a new deal
It's become my lover and greets me with a kiss
And finally I feel that I turned from death
and finally I feel I am ready to live
For whatever life will give
I am open to receive

Chill like I'm old
I want to walk slowly through the park
Let sitting quietly chase away the dark
I don't care what we are told
I am still young, but I'll chill like I'm old
If I start now to learn to rest
I'm certain I'll pass the old age test
To still have joy when my energy's low
For in stillness we learn, and in stillness we grow
I don't want to wait til I'm old to see
The beauty of a still standing tree
To seek fun and excitement is what we are sold
But I don't care, I will chill like I'm old
Let sitting quietly chase away the dark
I don't care what we are told
I am still young, but I'll chill like I'm old
If I start now to learn to rest
I'm certain I'll pass the old age test
To still have joy when my energy's low
For in stillness we learn, and in stillness we grow
I don't want to wait til I'm old to see
The beauty of a still standing tree
To seek fun and excitement is what we are sold
But I don't care, I will chill like I'm old

Those who went before
Life is really miraculous
For everything I ever got
I got by the grace of my parents
And so those who went before me
Their hopes, their dreams, their sadness, their anxieties
Are still present in my heart
We are not isolated beings
All that my father ever recovered from
The love for reading of my mother
All this inside my soul lives on
What we experience now
Is the result of a dance of life of thousands of years
Remember those who have gone before
Don't think you know everything better than they did ...
For everything I ever got
I got by the grace of my parents
And so those who went before me
Their hopes, their dreams, their sadness, their anxieties
Are still present in my heart
We are not isolated beings
All that my father ever recovered from
The love for reading of my mother
All this inside my soul lives on
What we experience now
Is the result of a dance of life of thousands of years
Remember those who have gone before
Don't think you know everything better than they did ...

To turn towards life
The bright clear sky calls me today
To choose to go a brand new way
To stop dying the inner death
Of thinking I am not enough
Have I not done the good I could?
I mostly have done what I should
Perfectionism is the death
That tells me I am not enough
I tentatively spread my wings
To go see what a future brings
Where I don't pollute every breath
By thinking I am not enough
This road, I think it will be long
But each step on it makes me strong
I turn towards life, I turn from death
I write it down:...
To choose to go a brand new way
To stop dying the inner death
Of thinking I am not enough
Have I not done the good I could?
I mostly have done what I should
Perfectionism is the death
That tells me I am not enough
I tentatively spread my wings
To go see what a future brings
Where I don't pollute every breath
By thinking I am not enough
This road, I think it will be long
But each step on it makes me strong
I turn towards life, I turn from death

In memory
Sometimes I have memories of the past
Which make me bow my head and close my eyes
Because I am ashamed of what happened
For a long time I fought those memories
But now I realized
I can only grow by allowing those memories
The past comes and goes in my mind
Like storms come and go
And by letting those moments happen
I can move forward in memory of my mistakes
Which make me bow my head and close my eyes
Because I am ashamed of what happened
For a long time I fought those memories
But now I realized
I can only grow by allowing those memories
The past comes and goes in my mind
Like storms come and go
And by letting those moments happen
I can move forward in memory of my mistakes

Traveling daily
Taking joy in traveling
To other countries, to far off places
Is something I have not inherited
When it comes to real places
I am happy with those in my city
And still I travel daily
To Shadesmar
To Roshar
To Middle Earth
To the world of the Wheel of Time
To the word of the Licanius Trilogy
To a galaxy far, far away
Yes, I have traveled a lot these past few years
And it is the greatest joy of my life
To travel daily
To other countries, to far off places
Is something I have not inherited
When it comes to real places
I am happy with those in my city
And still I travel daily
To Shadesmar
To Roshar
To Middle Earth
To the world of the Wheel of Time
To the word of the Licanius Trilogy
To a galaxy far, far away
Yes, I have traveled a lot these past few years
And it is the greatest joy of my life
To travel daily
