Sun in cold water

You are here to be surprised by Life. Not to control it.

One was afraid of a thousand things,

of pain, of judges, of one’s own heart,

one was afraid of sleep, of waking up,

of being alone, of the cold, of madness, of death...

of death - namely of him, of death.

But all these were only masks and disguises.

In reality, there was only one thing to be afraid of:

the letting go, the step out into the unknown,

the small step beyond all the assurances that existed.

And whoever had surrendered once, just once,

who had once practiced the great trust

and entrusted himself to fate,

was liberated.

He no longer obeyed the laws of the earth,

He had fallen into space

and was swinging in the dance of the stars.

The Earth is not ours to command.

How beautifully played.

War goes on.
