just observe
don't judge
not good
enough
is like the
ultimate separation
self
defense
out of pain or fear
to be
rejected
all the
time
it felt
like rejection
falling off
a cliff
falling off
the cliff of life
into
nothingness – not death
just
nothing – somewhat pure
yet even this
was without
meaning or
depth
falling
forever
falling into outer space
this total
emptiness was scary
become the
alien you always were
anyway –
and it felt like:
washing the
dishes
the most
ordinary thing in the world
washing
the dishes is not good enough for me
having to wash dishes every day is scary
every water
was, I don’t know why,
mostly
shallow – nobody
shared
himself/herself with anybody
nobody
wanted to drown
how do you drown in shallow water?
nobody wanted to drown in feeling
separation
was the rule
of
togetherness, of family
the food
the water the air
and not
good enough
was a very
good way to deal with it
