CLOSENESS and DISTANCE Poetics
closeness and distance
-------------------------------
"Mind-FULLY"
Filled with Mind
Empty with Inquiry
Questions Questing.
All Arising Naturally,
The Lion's Silent Roar
Get Out of The Way !
Don't Tamper with
the Best Merchandise
lest it Become Artifice.
-----------------------------
When OBSERVING,
Notice the Energy
Re-positioning Itself--
Should I ? -- 'Get Close' or
Should I ? --'Take Distance'
EXPERIENCE 'IT' FULLY
FEEL Yourself Feel Itself
WITNESS the Other Be --
All Arising Naturally,
Watching Not Thinking
Aware of it's Shifting
Presence in Others:
----------------------------
"Mind-FULLY" Ya'know
Fills the 'BIG MIND' part of
"CONSCIOUS UNIVERSE"
Guess Who ? The SPACE
in Between is FULLY You
One's True Personal Space
-- especially In-Close-Up
Intimate Relationship in
Compromised Partnering
You MUST Keep Asking...
-------------------------
HOW CLOSE
IS TOO CLOSE ? --
( It's Already
FAR Too Close )
------------------
The Anxiety
of Absence
or Proximity
is Killing Me
-----------------
HOW FAR
IS TOO FAR ? --
( It's Already
FAR Too Near )
-------------------------
Lovingly Testing
the Distance at
Any time in a FULL
Moment between
Beings in each
other's Presence
or Absence --
Linear / Safety
Vertcal / Intimacy
--- or Not ...
---------------------------------
" WHAT HAPPENED ? "
------------------------------------
" I DIDN'T GET
ENOUGH LOVE
AS A CHILD "
----------------------
HOW COME ?
--------------------------------
Addiction / Affirmation
Actions Versus Words
Words Versus Actions
Lucid Versus Lost
Kind Versus Uncaring
Pleasant Versus Harsh
Clarity Versus Confusion
Loving Versus Apathy
Indifference Versus
Supportive Interest
Which Way is True ?
Which Way is False ?
Relevant or Folly ?
INTEGRITY is the Hub
COMPASSION the Spokes
But FJRST, Pure INTENT
To Do NO HARM
------------------------------
So I Sincerely Asked --
"Which Way is The WAY" ?
You Mean
"The Way Outta' Here"
Completely ? -- A'ccompli
---------------------------------
So ---Someone Pointed
n' Said Confidently
"That-a-Way" and
Pointed due EAST.

_/\_ KINDNESS PRACTICE # 108
The Sacred Practice called
the "The Wisdom of Great Kindness"
is just our friend 'Wisdom-Kindness'
-- It Works !
-------------------------------
WHAT IS THERAPY ?
Therapy is Where
Two People Sit Down
and Empathically Work
On One of Them
-- TOGETHER.
-----------------
And please ....
Please DO NOT EXPECT
that only a few sessions
to be sufficient: repeated
'Betrayed Expectation'
is partly how you got
here in the first place...
• Disappointment, feeling
alone in all this, try'in to
Self-Heal your obsessive
thinking, your wounded
feelings-- you can discover
a valuable Truth here -- asking,-
"How Long does therapy take ?"
It Takes Time --
You're Working more Brave
Than Ever On 'Compassion' --
Relating With Your Own Core,
Bruised Bmotions, Your Own
Early Damage, Impulsive
Reactivity or
Flat Numbness
----------------------
• So in one size fits all ---
SUFFERING That Took
Your Whole Life-time
To Develop -- and Will
Certainly Take Time
To Turn Around. ~A~
--------------------------------
You CAN transform It -
by NOT saying enabling
lesser words like:
"Forgiveness is Hard" --
instead by saying
the greater words
of change making
power:
"Forgiveness is
a Challenge "---------------------
" Without Forgiveness
there is NO Future."
~ Bishop Desmond TuTu

the Question
-- 'Kindness'

” It Was The Best of Times
It Was The Worst of Times
• It Was The
Age of Wisdom
It Was The
Age of Foolishness
• It Was The
Epoch of Belief
It Was The
Epoch of Incredulity
• It Was The
Season of Light
It Was The
Season of Darkness
• It Was The
Spring of Hope
It Was The
Winter of Despair
• We Had Everything
Before Us
We Had Nothing
Before Us
• We Were All Going
Direct To Heaven
We Were All Going
Direct The Other Way
• In Short, That Period
Was Just Like
The Present Period.”
