What have I to fear?
If their arrows hit?
If their arrows kill?
What is there in that
To cry about?

Others have gone before,
Others will follow.

Sleepless questions
In the small hours:
Have I done right?
Why did I act
Just as I did?
Over and over again
The same steps,
The same words:
Never the answer.

Far away,
For the last time,
I heard the scream,
scream of terror
The voice of loneliness
Screaming for love.

I ask: what am I doing here?
And, at once, this I
Becomes unreal.

"I" = The Accidental Meeting of Possibilities

This accidental
Meeting of possibilities
Calls itself I.

Asked if I have the courage
To go on to the end,
I answer Yes
Without a second thought.

Too tired for company,
You seek a solitude
You are too tired to fill.

"Do not look back. And do not dream about the future, either. It will neither give you back the past, nor satisfy your other daydreams. Your duty, your reward – your destiny – are here and now."

Understand – through stillness,
Act – out of the stillness,
Conquer – in the stillness.

The “mystical experience.” Always here and now – in that freedom which is one with distance, in that stillness which is born of silence.

Beyond fear – openness to life.
And beyond that – love.
