The lessons in life
Inspire to struggle and learn
Challenging everything familiar
To go and look beyond what I know
Pushing me to let go more and more
Of what once was considered important
Opening up new possibilities
To help others without a regret
As life becomes transparent and simple
The need to cling and grasp subsides
Life points the way
Gratitude is my companion
Compassion is her shield
Being fully open to the present
Is all that life requires

wonderful poem, Pieter. By the way, I started to draw the photo you once made with the old church. Will show later in my blog. It’s very, very difficult and a lot of work. Have a nice day, regards Mitza
