This reflection is part of a triptych about POSITIONING:
Where am I and how do I figure me in this world?
Here you can click all three of them:
1- what is it all about? ESSENCE
2- what comes to pass? ON THE EDGE
3- what lies ahead? LIFE EXPECTANCE
Nederlands: RANDGEVAL
ON THE EDGE
believing
the path
that you walk
slippery
but sustained
by cross bearing
not a rosegarden
never promised
perhaps a rosary
if you have piety
stepping into life
full of faith
backup at hand
but
overwhelmed
so many turns
options to pursue
(arduous) patterns
no
development driven togetherness
in progress
for me
and I ended up
at the edge of
self
society
and church
still
this fundamental fact
remains
that someone once
conquered evil
and brings harmony
through spirit
I refound myself
and now just let me be
on the edge
on the sidelines
in peace
doing my thing
otherwise it will be
over the edge
into the depth
of loneliness
connection-
less
gone
done
at the edge of
self
society
and church
this fundamental fact
remains
that someone once
conquered evil
and brings harmony
through spirit
and now just let me be
on the edge
on the sidelines
in peace
doing my thing
over the edge
into the depth
of loneliness
connection-
less
gone
done
