The Wonder of the World

I don’t destroy the wonder of the world
and I don’t kill
with reasoning the mysteries I find
along my way
in flowers, on faces, on lips or graves.

The light of inquiries from others
strangles the magic spell of treasures hidden
in the depth of the unknown.

Instead
my light adorns the mystery of life –
much like the white moonlight
doesn’t diminish, but trembling,
increases even more the mystery of night,
my light intensifies the subtle horizon
with shivers of a mystic secret.

And all the unknowns
become unknowns even bigger
in my eyes –
because I love the same way
the flowers, faces, lips and graves.

don't ask for repetition

Whenever a blissful moment happens, don’t ask for it again. Don’t ask for it to be repeated, because all repetition is of mind. Don’t ask for it again. If you ask, then the mind will say, “I know the trick. I will do it for you.” The mind will destroy the mystery of a new moment.

When it happens, feel happy and grateful and forget. The fish is caught, forget the trap. The meaning is caught, forget the word.

Be like curious children

Do not grow old, no matter how long you live. Never cease to stand like curious children before the Great Mystery into which we were born.
- Albert Einstein
