I want to get up there
I try to reach the hook
from the crane that is not tall enough.
Is that just hope
stupidity
or both

I lost all of my gauges
but it seems
you don’t need them

To be honest
I only see what's in the distance
but not even that good

I see the tension
especially where it is close to us

I sometimes look down
and get dizzy
from my stance

I know there is one big reason why you don't change
your viewpoint
but what if I start loosening
your reasons

It is easy to see what you miss
not where you lost it

I wish I could open every door
so I could leave my mark behind

From above
work seems easy

A collection of wooden planks
nails and work
the ingredients written down
a long past ago
still we use it
we are hardly changed

I love the story a picture can tell
even if you don’t know what you see
it’s because we are so used to it

I forged raw iron till it reflected
what I could not see straight on
it costs me half a life
but what half?

I looked at it so closely
that I didn’t know what I was looking at

Expectations a Fata Morgana you can’t see

35 Feelings and their origination in judgments. – ‘Trust your feelings!’ – But feelings are nothing final or original; behind feelings there stand judgments and evaluations which we inherit in the form of feelings (inclinations, aversions). The inspiration born of a feeling is the grandchild of a judgment – and often of a false judgment! – and in any event not a child of your own! To trust one’s feelings – means to give more obedience to one’s grandfather and grandmother and their grandparents than to the gods which are in us: our reason and our experience.

173 Laughing and smiling. -The more joyous and self-assured his spirit becomes, the more a person forgets how to laugh loudly; by contrast, a spiritual smile continually wells up from within him, a sign of his astonishment at the countless concealed charms of a good existence.
