Pru

 

You

 

were

 

the first one

 

to call yourself

 

an anarchist

 

I first saw the shadow of a leaf falling down and only then

I felt it while it was touching my hair

 

You

 

said

 

ownership is theft

 

while I was walking under yesterday's sun I was feeling the enjoyment of light

 

You

 

said

 

anarchy in an order

 

I am feeling indescribable gentleness for You Pru

 

I am feeling indescribable gentleness for a lack of ownership my Pru

 

disavowal (of an ownership) is expanding and transforming

 

disavowal is liberating from an abridgement

 

if we are justifying ourselves we are losing mildness

 

if we are defending ourselves we are losing chastity

 

ownership is limiting body soul and spirit

 

lack of ownership is limitless and timeless

 

I am looking forward to go outside bellow today's sun

 

lets go together Pru

 

by the economy of sun Pru

 

by the mutuality Pru

 

in-step Pru

 

with a neighbor who last night filled our heart with her warm smile Pru

 

value is free of charge

 

goodness is inexhaustible

 

we are all here Pru

 

Pru I am Proudhon

I love Christ's words on the Mount

 

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

 

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

 

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst

for righteousness, for they will be filled.

 

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

 

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

 

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

 

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of

righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and

falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

 

I am bowing to you, ble

 

you are the most sexual beings, ble

 

I would like to tell you so many things and therefore I am silent, ble

 

Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No';

anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

 

But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone

strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

 

You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

 

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

 

No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he

 will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

 

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

 

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow

will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

 

Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

 

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye

and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

 

Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may

trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.

 

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will

find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

 

So in everything, do to others what you would have them

do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

 

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction,

and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

 

Chri, I am love-kissing You

 

I am love-kissing all holy books and their creators

 

soon walnuts will become mature. these are the same walnuts like the ones thirty seven years ago next to the brook where I read the words that suddenly and strongly started singing in my heart

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will

find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

 

ble

Chri

Go

 

 

sing in my blessings, ble

 

ble, I am blessed one

 

Blessed Bud

I’m happy

 

I don’t feel as if I belong to the vegetarians because

I belong to a poem for all beings You and God

 

experience to experience

 

I love when others talk of my experience

 

a root of all words is within the root

 

word of all words is within God

 

I bow to You vegetarianism because I’m not writing about You

 

it was raining last night

 

a moment ago watery light started to shine over

the narrow street on which my window overlooks

 

we are one

 

I am an apple

 

soul still doesn’t accept the spirit of words

 

body still doesn’t accept the soul of words

 

body of words

 

body prays words

 

spirit

is

bending

towards

the

bottom

of

the

soul

and

begs

of

You

let’s

be

let’s

love-kiss

free

through

the

body

 

a moment of eternity

 

countless moments of one and only eternity

 

eternity of six nuns

 

wherever I walk along the rose of the roads I walk through the Monastery Street

 

happiness laugh

 

laugh when I’m telling You anything because anything loves when You are enjoying it

 

God give that neither You or me ever ridicule anybody

 

laugh at me laugh – love-kiss me even more

 

I bow to You vegetarianism because I write about You

 

red peach stone and first walnut that I picked up of the ground

 

all beings within my body

 

all love within my word love

 

all

poems

within

this

poem

 

never into ever

 

end in endlessness
