Dear friends and colleagues, not long time ago I read this poem, and I want
to share it, assenting to what is and opening the field to what will come,
without judgment. 

What it is

It is nonsense
says reason
It is what it is
says love

It is misfortune
says calculation
It is nothing but pain
says fear
It is hopeless
says insight
It is what it is
says love

It is ridiculous
says pride
It is careless
says caution
It is impossible
says experience
It is what it is
says love

Translation by M. Kaldenbach

 

 

A warm hug,

 

Julio
