Active Patience


                                                                                   the pain
                                                                                   the looking away
                                                                                   the slip into oblivion

                                                                                   the dark pit
                                                                                   the lost soul
                                                                                   the helplessness

                                                                                   the giving up
                                                                                   the letting go

                                                                                   the sense of clouds, of fog
                                                                                   the sense of time
                                                                                   the sense of limit

                                                                                   the sense of end
                                                                                   the sense of direction

                                                                                   the will to look

                                                                                   the joy of change

                                                                                   the strength to look
                                                                                   the sight of progress

                                                                                   the energy to flow

                                                                                   the harmony
                                                                                   the nonresistance
                                                                                   the welcoming

                                                                                   the unlocking
                                                                                   the floating
                                                                                   the freedom.
