WollenBei dir sein wollenMitten aus dem was man tut weg sein wollen bei dir verschwunden sein Nichts als bei dir näher als Hand an Hand enger als Mund an Mund bei dir sein wollen In dir zärtlich zu dir sein dich küssen von außen und dich streicheln von innen so und so und auch anders Und dich einatmen wollen immer nur einatmen wollen tiefer tiefer und ohne Ausatmen trinken Aber zwischendurch Abstand suchen um dich sehen zu können aus ein zwei Handbreit Entfernung und dann dich weiterküssen Erich Fried |

Wollen (wanting), Erich Fried
Freiraum (free space), Erich Fried
Freiraum
von Erich Fried
Jedes Mal
wenn ich jetzt an dich denke
entsteht in meinem Kopf
ein freier Raum
eine Art Vorraum zu dir
in dem sonst nichts ist
Ich stelle fest
am Ende jedes Tages
dass viel mehr freier Raum
in meinem Kopf
übrig gewesen sein muss
als ich sonst glaubte
Einladung (invitation), Erich Fried
Einladung
von Erich Fried
Ich denke nach
was ich dir zu geben habe
und warum es gut für dich ist
oder schlecht für dich
dass ich dich liebe
Ich denke nach
was ich dir alles sein kann
und ob ich ein Recht habe
mich zu sehnen nach dir
Ich denke nach
ob es Sinn hat
so nachzudenken
und wie ich wissen soll
was ich dir alles sein kann
und ob ich ein Recht haben will
dir etwas zu geben zu haben
und mich nach dir zu sehnen
Ich sehne mich nach dir
weil ich mich nach dir sehne
Ich will dir etwas sein
weil du mir mehr bist als etwas
und weil ich nicht ohne dich sein will
Ich liebe dich
nicht weil es gut oder schlecht ist
und nicht weil es recht oder unrecht ist
sondern weil ich dich liebe
No, this is not only for the "Ladies"
quoted:
"TO ALL THE LADIES IN THE HOUSE
...On International Women's Day
The spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle says:
"Relationships are here to make you conscious, instead of happy."
I get that.
I wandered in the spiritual wilderness for many years, the barren wasteland of detachment, disembodiment, world-denial and superiority ("I'm more enlightened, more awakened, more conscious, more ego-free, more spiritually evolved than you, you mere mortal!").
Getting back into real, grounded, messy, intimate human relationships - that's where the real adventure of life began.
Relationships started to bring to the surface all the stuff within myself that I had been trying to avoid, numb, repress, or hide over the years, stuff that didn't fit into the 'spiritual' picture, the 'perfect' picture, the picture of 'enlightened man'. It was painful and humiliating to be shown time and time again that I wasn't 'done', that there was actually no 'finish line' at all, that unenlightened energies still raged in me, energies that I'd not yet accepted in myself, energies that longed for the light, fragments that simply ached to be embraced, given a relational home in the vastness that I am.
Painful and humiliating though it was, the journey came to be astonishingly liberating, and relieving. The 'stink of enlightenment' (as Mariana Caplan calls it) doesn't stand a chance in the furnace of honest relationship. Clichés like "there is no me", "there is only awareness", "I have gone beyond human feelings", "everything is perfect", and "that's all just your projection", just don't cut it when your close friend is standing in front of you, asking for honest, vulnerable, no-bullshit heart connection. She will see through your games, call you out when you lie to her (and yourself), make you face everything that needs to be faced. She wants to meet YOU, not your clever spiritual concepts. There's nowhere to hide, nowhere to run.
Thank you to all you strong, intelligent, beautiful women who taught me how to love and how to listen, how to receive and how to connect, and may this journey never end...."
