Govinda

Take time to look at the sky, look for shapes in the clouds. Hear blowing the wind and touch the cold water. Go with soft cautious steps. We are intruders who are tolerated of an infinite universe and only for short time. "We know what the white man will discover first one day. Our tall spirit is the same God. Do not think that you have him, think to have our country like you. Because you can never do this. The tall spirit is the God of all people, the red and the white man. Spirit is preciously this earth the great. To hurt the earth means to disdain God." I am not interested in knowing how you earn your cost of living. I would like to know what you inwardly cry out for and whether you dare to dream to meet the longing of your heart. I am not interested in knowing how old you are. I want for your dreams' sake and for the adventure of the Lebendigseins to know whether you risk looking like a fool for your love's sake. I am not interested in knowing which planets stand to your moon in the square. I want to know whether you have touched the deepest point of your own sorrow, whether you have been opened of all the betrayal, or whether you are locked out of fear of a further pain. I want to know whether you can sit there with the pain - mine or yours - without trying to hide or to decrease it or to remove it. I want to know whether you can be with the joy - mine or yours, you can have from the fingertips up to the tips of the toe whether to dance with wildness and to fulfil you of the ecstasy without admonishing us to be careful, considering the reason or the limits of the manhood to. I am not interested in knowing whether the story which you tell is true. I want to know whether you can disappoint somebody to be faithful to you. Whether you can bear the reproach of the betrayal and do not betray your own soul. I want to know, whether you can be trusting and of therefore trustworthy. I want your life can eat presence to know whether you can see beauty even if it is not beautiful every day and whether you from God. I want to know, whether you can live with the failure - mine and yours - and despite everything on the edge of the lake stand stop and to the silver of the full moon call: "Yes!" I am not interested to learn, where you live and how much money you have. I want to know whether you can get up after a night of the mourning and the despair exhausted and crushed through and through and do, what must be done for your children. I am not interested in knowing who you are and how you have come here. I want to know whether you will stand and do not shrink back with me in the middle of the fire. I am not, where interested it or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what holds you from inside, if otherwise everything is discontinued. I want to know whether you can be alone and are together really with you at the empty moments. I am the country, my eyes the sky, my members are the trees, I am the rock, the depth of water. I am not here to dominate nature or exploit it. I am itself nature.
